Add Dynodoc to your editor
Keep working in Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Google Docs, Google Sheets or Google Slides. The add-in records edits to existing text and cell values while its pane is open, lets you send them for review in a Dynodoc project, and brings approved team changes back into your file.
Marketplace listings are not live yet. Until they are, install an add-in yourself with the files below. Each installs for your own account and can be removed at any time.
Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint
Download the add-in file for your app and add it to Office from a shared folder (Windows), the add-in folder (Mac) or the add-ins dialog (Office on the web). Then choose Home → Dynodoc.

Connect a file
- Open the add-in in your editor and choose Sign in to Dynodoc.
- In the browser window that opens, sign in, check that the code matches the one in your editor, pick the Dynodoc file and approve.
- Return to the editor and choose I approved this connection.
- Turn on capture when you are ready. Nothing is recorded before you do.
A connection reaches one file, expires after seven days and can be revoked under Sync & connections. No account password or token is given to the editor.
What to expect
- The add-ins cover existing paragraph text, cell values, formulas and dates, and slide shape text. Formatting, new or moved content and other structural edits go through file push in Projects.
- Changes are recorded only while the add-in pane is open. There is no background capture.
- The pane loads from Dynodoc, so opening it and syncing need an internet connection. Recorded changes wait in a local queue until you send them.
- The original file you import into a project must be 3 MB or smaller.
