How to Install PWA Microsoft Office Online


After the previous Microsoft Outlook email application was available as PWA (Progressive Web App), now finally Microsoft has also made Microsoft Office applications as PWA as well. By offering this feature to Microsoft Online users, it will certainly make it easier for them to access and use it.

PWA or abbreviation of the Progressive Web App is an application in the form of a web app that behaves like a real application. In the process, this web app will be hosting directly to related websites. In short, you can use a website like using the application. For example, you can use the Google Maps application in your favorite browser just like using it in an application on Android or iOS. All features are limited if used in a browser, you will not find it when using this PWA mode because it really feels like using the application directly. So, if you are accustomed to manually accessing these sites through a browser, then through this you can simply click on Shortcut on your device's desktop, and later the application will immediately open like other native applications on your device.

For that, if you are starting to wonder how to install this Microsoft Office PWA online to your device, see the tutorial below.

    Open the official Microsoft Online site. Then log in with the account that you use when you use other online Office applications such as Word, Excel, or PowerPoint.
    After that, select what applications you want to make as PWA. Just click the application to display the dashboard display before using the application.
    Once in the dashboard, then you select the settings option in the browser, then select the Apps option.
    There will be an option to install the official application that you wanted it to be. After that select, the option then writes the name of the application to your liking.
    Done. After that, you will be able to see the PWA application on your device's desktop. To use it, you just need to click on it, and the application will open immediately.

Unfortunately, this only applies to Edge Chromium browsers only. For other browsers like Firefox, Chrome, it might still not get support, so just wait in the future.

For information, even though we can already install it on the device, it does not mean it can be used offline. Because it was from the start an online Microsoft Office, so to use it must also be online.
