> <sup>1</sup>In Outlook on the web, if you open a shared mailbox in a separate browser tab or window using the **Open another mailbox** option, you may encounter issues when accessing add-ins from the mailbox. We recommend opening the mailbox in the same panel as your primary mailbox instead. This ensures that add-ins work as expected in your shared mailbox. If you prefer to open the shared mailbox using the **Open another mailbox** option, we recommend deploying the add-in to both your primary user and shared mailboxes.
