Since the release of SharePoint Add-Ins in 2013, Microsoft has evolved SharePoint extensibility using the SharePoint Framework (SPFx) enabling you to write applications that can be used in Microsoft SharePoint, Viva Connections and Microsoft Teams. With our continued investment in SharePoint Framework, Microsoft is retiring SharePoint Add-Ins.
Starting July 1st, 2024, SharePoint Add-Ins cannot be installed from the public marketplace, also referred to as store by existing tenants. Installation from a private tenant catalogue remains possible. Starting November 1st, 2024, new tenants will not be able use SharePoint Add-Ins, regardless of their origin (public marketplace, private tenant catalog). And then, starting April 2nd, 2026, Microsoft will remove the ability to use SharePoint Add-Ins for existing tenants.
If your organization still uses SharePoint Add-Ins, they will no longer function after April 2nd, 2026. Our SharePoint development team recommends porting customizations to the SharePoint Framework (SPFx) and/or ask your solution vendors for updated solutions. Use the Microsoft 365 Assessment tool to scan your tenants for SharePoint Add-In usage. Review the guidance for migrating from SharePoint Add-Ins to SharePoint Framework. There will not be an option to extend SharePoint Add-Ins beyond April 2nd, 2026.

The Short answer is that this change should not be relevant to our software/development, the addin should continue working without trouble.
I have asked the Dev team for a more detailed explanation of "why" this is not relevant to our software for you, and will followup here again once I have any pertinent information for you.

With additional confirmation, the reasoning is that our SharePoint extension is already using SharePoint Framework (SPFx) which is the newer technology that is becoming the "main focus" for SharePoint. We do not use the older "SharePoint addin" technology which is being discontinued in 2026. So you will be able to continue to use our tools uninterrupted through this change on SharePoint end.
