Introduction

Vitextra offers a range of SPFx-based products that extend the functionality of SharePoint Online and Microsoft Teams.

This article is a step-by-step guide to installing a Vitextra product in your SharePoint Online environment, including the prerequisites and permissions you need for a smooth installation.

Prerequisites

Environment

Vitextra SPFx-based products can be installed only on Microsoft 365 (SharePoint Online and Microsoft Teams).

❗ Important
Vitextra SPFx products cannot be installed on SharePoint on-premises 2016/2019.

Required Permissions

Tenant Admin Access

You must have the SharePoint Administrator role in your Microsoft 365 tenant. This role gives you the authority to manage the App Catalog and install apps across the SharePoint Online environment.

App Catalog Permissions

Within the App Catalog site, you need Full Control permissions. This lets you upload, manage, and delete apps, including SPFx packages.

User Permissions for End Users

While not directly related to installation, make sure the users who will use the SPFx web parts have permission to access the site and its content. This usually means at least Read permission on the site where the web part is deployed.

Installation Package

First, download the product package. You can get it from the Vitextra Download Center or Microsoft AppSource.

💡 Tip
The Download Center often provides the latest updates and features more quickly than AppSource.

Download the product's ZIP file (*.zip) and extract it somewhere on your computer.

Installation

Step-by-step instructions:

1. From the Microsoft 365 admin center, navigate to the SharePoint admin center.

2. Go to More Features and click the Open button under the Apps heading:

3. Click App Catalog to manage your SharePoint apps.

4. Click the Upload button and select the extracted .sppkg file.

❗ Important
Make sure to extract the .zip archive before uploading. You must upload the extracted .sppkg file, not the .zip file itself.

5. After uploading the package, review the request to trust the solution. Click Install to confirm the installation.

6. Once deployed, the package appears in the list of installed client-side packages, confirming a successful installation.

API Access

To grant the installed app the permissions it needs, open the SharePoint admin center and go to API access. Under Pending requests, select a request and click Approve. Review and approve the API permissions required by the app. See Microsoft’s API access management guide. Approving Microsoft Graph permissions requires the Global Administrator role; the SharePoint Administrator role alone is not sufficient.

Summary

Installing a Vitextra product in SharePoint Online comes down to a few key steps: confirming the right environment and permissions, downloading and uploading the installation package, and approving any API access requests.

With these steps done, the Vitextra solution is integrated into your SharePoint environment and ready to use.
