Start using the new version of Add It

New workspaces

Your SharePoint Administrator can set a Tenant Property to ensure new workspaces get the new version of Add It automatically. You can learn how to access the Tenant Properties here: Manage Tenant Properties for Atlas

The specific property to update is the Atlas.UseQuickAddIt and it should be set to true.

Existing workspaces

Existing workspaces can be updated in two different ways:

• Edit the Add It page on each workspace, remove the existing web part and add the Add It (Atlas) web part from the web part picker. Note that the previous version is now labelled as "legacy" so don't use that one:
  
• Run a script to update existing workspaces. More information can be found here: Provision the new Add It page in existing Atlas workspaces. If you still need assistance please contact support.
