I have tested my add in Outlook Web access but to complete the testing I need to sideload my add in to the Outlook 2016 client.
The only information I can find on this is located here and is out of date as I cannot get to the store from my latest version of Outlook
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook/add-ins/sideload-outlook-add-ins-for-testing
Please can someone help me find some up to date documentation on this or just explain how I can load the add-in into Outlook 2016?
This documentation is current.
On the Home tab in Outlook 2016, select 'Get Add-ins'.
On the next screen select 'My add-ins' on the left hand side
Scroll down to 'Custom add-ins'
Click on 'Add a custom add-in'

I tried searching for this question but couldn't really find a similar problem.
I have an excel file in which I created a custom ribbon tab and made copies of this file.
Image of the tab
In some of those copies, the tab has gone missing. I was earlier using Excel 2016 and recently migrated to Microsoft 365 and downloaded the latest version of Office. I am not sure if this is causing the problem since some files do still have the custom ribbon.
Thanks a lot for your help in advance.
Regards
Do you get any UI errors when the tab is missed?
By default, if an add-in attempts to manipulate the Microsoft Office user interface (UI) and fails, no error message is displayed. However, you can configure Microsoft Office applications to display messages for errors that relate to the UI. You can use these messages to help determine why a custom ribbon does not appear, or why a ribbon appears but no controls appear.
To show VSTO Add-in user interface errors you need:
Start the application.
Click the File tab.
Click Options.
In the categories pane, click Advanced.
In the details pane, select Show VSTO Add-in user interface errors, and then click OK.
If you deal with documents with embedded customizations, make sure the protected mode is off when the document is opened. See What is Protected View? for more information.

How do I get desktop hyperlink and button functionality to port to Office 365?
You need to develop a Web add-in if you want to get your extra functionality working everywhere, see Excel add-ins overview. VBA is for Windows desktop applications only.
Have installed the Outlook for CRM 2011 add-in along with Rollup 12 on a Win 7 machine running Outlook 2013. When the user opens an email and click "Set Regarding", she can select an contact, but the email form does not change to show the "regarding pane" at the bottom. The "Track" button does change to "Untrack", so it seems that it is working, just not showing.
I've uninstalled/reinstalled more than once to no avail. It does work on other machines in my office.
You may check the person's personal settings for the CRM in Outlook. If you go under the Email tab there is a check box for "check incoming e-mail in Outlook and determine whether an email should be linked and saved as a CRM record. If that box is checked it may be causing the issue you are describing above.
I have had the exact same issue and making sure that box is unchecked solves it everytime. I've asked in multiple dynamics crm forums, even our Microsoft partner, and no one has been able to explain why, but having that box checked definitely made the regarding fields on outlook emails disappear and not show up.
I have a problem with the SharePoint and Outlook calendar synchronization. When I drag and drop an appointment or meeting from outlook calendar into SharePoint calendar, I can see that it is appeared on SharePoint calendar. Till this, I am good.
But, when I update the calendar item in outlook and sync both the calendars again, I don't see the updated on SharePoint calendar. Same issue with vice versa.
Can any one please help me if you had run into this sort of scenario.
Thanks in advance for your help!!
Thanks
This is expected. When you drag an item from a SharePoint calendar to an Outlook calendar, this is a very simple copy. There is no link between the two items. If you change the Outlook appointment, it will not update SharePoint. In other words, the two appointments act independently of each other.
We have been working on an Outlook add-in to solve this issue. The add-in called, ProperSync, allows direct syncing between Outlook calendars and SharePoint. You can find more information at www.propersync.com
Edit:
As a new feature in ProperSync 1.3 (beta now available) users can connect their Outlook calendar directly with a SharePoint calendar. This links the appointments directly. There is no need to drag and drop, just setup the connection and the appointment in Outlook is the same in SharePoint.
Here is a simple video demo - http://youtu.be/6l6mEsqrutU
*Disclaimer - I am part of the ProperSync team, but hope this is a relevant and helpful posting
