Show Linked Documents Pane

Use this command when you want the add-in workspace visible in Excel. It opens the task pane and routes you into the Linked Documents experience so file management, search, manuals, groups, and the viewer are all available from one place.

How It Works​

  1. Open Excel and choose the Linked Documents ribbon command for the pane.
  2. Wait for the task pane to appear on the side of the workbook.
  3. Use the pane as your home base for files, manuals, search, groups, and the PDF viewer.

What To Keep In Mind​

  • The task pane is the entry point for every interactive workflow in the add-in.
  • If another command sends you into a feature view, the pane stays the shared workspace behind that action.
