We are able to invoke a built-in Ribbon command in VBA by using:

Application.CommandBars.ExecuteMso(“Copy”)

Could we have a way to invoke built-in functionality from Javascript

Recently we got an option to insert task panes using add-in commands which is really nice feature. It would be very useful to have an option to insert content panes in Excel, Word and Power Point as well.

The following list of events found on the client version of Word and Excel would aid in development of apps that work the same as current client addin apps work.

Excel Open Event
Excel Close Event
Excel BeforeClose Event
Workbook activate event

Word Open Event
Word Close Event
Word beforeClose event
Document activate event

Currently, the task pane title for an Office.js add-in can be set only, AFAICT, from the manifest. It would be nice to update the title of the task pane from Office.js

Some account storage that can be used by Office add-in to save account related info, like favorite list, last used settings and etc.

Currently exist Office.context.document.settings but it's document specific, will be great to have the same but account specific.

1) For the calendars, I would need a property similar to Event.WebLink in order to be able to access the calendar from the browser

2) If possible, when opening the calendar in the browser, I would need to provide the calendar view (day/week/month) and the date.

I'd like to see the ability to register ribbon items (tabs and their children) dynamically on the client-side via my app or some tenant scoped javascript that I can register (needs to work with SharePoint Online and should not block submittal to the store). Right now the only way to register a ribbon item of any sort is to do so during the app installation which doesn’t allow us to extend the ribbon over time (either with our own service adding items or by allowing the user to add their own items via an app or whatever).

As you are supporting so many document events for Getting and
Setting the Data using office.js
Hence we are developing office apps 90% code using Jquery and javascript,but not all the events are supported that supported by Jquery.

I need some drag and drop kind facility for dropping "ooxml" kind of data to docuement.

Hi,

Please add some properties to get current account user information who log in the Office via JavaScript API for Office in App for Word.

It is currently not possible to retrieve the current user identity in apps for Office. I realize that this is rather useless for Task Pane apps in Word/Excel/PowerPoint, but it is VERY useful for Mail and Access content apps. It is required if you want to save the refresh token securely to know which user is talking to your app backend.

Right now, an app makes changes to the sheet, there's no way for the user to undo those changes (or their previous changes).

Need for protecting and unprotecting Word, Excel and PowerPoint content that is open, saved or closed when using the Office Web apps. Using Office Web API there needs to be events that can be caught related to opening, saving and closing these types of files using Office Web apps and content protected or unprotected by password.

I open most of my files from "Downloads" and need to move the version I work on into an organized folder. There's no way to do this from an Office application once I have opened the file. I can Save in the original location, or Save As A COPY in another location, but original I no longer need is still there. Mac Preview allows this: when you change a file name you can also change the file location, and it really simplifies the process of organizing my files.

Add two new file types in the browser Create a New File drop down menu: 1. Text File and 2. Windows Contact

Text files in One Drive Personal are great. Online the hyperlinks even work, they are easily searchable and small footprint. Why doesn't SharePoint have them?

Contacts (.Contact) are another handy way to archive contact info. In a sync folder the information appears in the preview pane. They are easily imported into Outlook via the default Windows Contacts folder which as conversion tool .Contact to .VCF.

Build REST endpoints that we can call to grant specific federated/cloud account conditional access to Azure/O365 services. We currently leverage an on-premise solution customized to do this for all of our systems, but Azure/O365 is the hold out service that we must have a different process.

Regarding to development process and framework of Office Addin JS, there are lots of unnecessary steps which make it complicated. Is it possible that Office Dev team refer to the greasemonkey/tampermonkey which extend browser functionality easily.
