WorkPoint Express 365 - June 2026 Update – Welcome! How can we help?

Article published on the 9^th of June, 2026.

On June 10th we will be deploying an update to WorkPoint Express 365 introducing some exciting new features to help improve user productivity by working with your WorkPoint data in WorkPoint Express 365.

In this article, we provide a summary of some of the new exciting features and improvements, plus provide detail about the new permissions required by WorkPoint Express 365 to support the latest functionality.

Action required: Please take the time to review the steps in the permissions section below to learn how you can grant the necessary tenant consent to enable these new features and minimise any user disruption after deployment.

New Features

Drag and Drop for Emails and Attachments

Store content in seconds. The June 2026 update introduces drag and drop from Outlook, allowing you to add emails and attachments directly into the WorkPoint Express 365 Task Pane without extra steps.

WorkPoint administrators can configure a single process to run automatically when an email is dropped into a WorkPoint view, or prompt users to choose from a list of email-enabled processes giving you full control over how emails are journalised, leveraging the power of WorkPoint Automate.

Alternatively, you can enable simple drag and drop upload directly to document libraries. Emails are stored as .eml files and attachments are saved as documents within your managed solution.

You can learn more about how to configure and enable Drag and Drop functionality in WorkPoint Express 365 in the support article here.

General Fixes and Improvements

In addition to the Drag and Drop feature, the June 2026 release includes the following fixes and improvements:

Improved Multi-Item Selection in Document Libraries:
Now, when multi-Item selection is enabled, WorkPoint Express 365 allows selection of up to 100 items. If users refine selections, the application ensures a maximum of 100 are selected for process launch.
Application State and Preferences Behaviour now stored as Microsoft Graph extension data:
Previously, application state such as the last open entity and view, and user preferences such as the selected Business Module view, were stored in Outlook local storage. To support WorkPoint Express 365 across other Microsoft 365 applications including Excel, Word and PowerPoint, this data is now stored using Microsoft Graph extensions. This enables a seamless experience where views, state and preferences are preserved as users move between applications.
Swedish Language Support:
The WorkPoint Express 365 UI and controls now support the Swedish locale.
Improved Grid View:
General improvements to the presentation and alignment of columns such as multi-user and multi-line text fields in Grid View. Multi-item fields now display on a full line with consistent positioning, making it easier to scan, identify and navigate entities and items.

Action Required: Grant Permissions to Enable New Features

As WorkPoint Express 365 is a modern Office Add-In in most cases when we release updates to the application - new functionality and fixes are instantly available to all existing users. We publish the application updates to our servers, then Add-in Task Pane on users' desktops will automatically recognize that a new version is available and reload it with zero interruption.

On this release however, new functionality relating to Drag and Drop upload features and how we store users' application preferences and state do require some additional tenant permissions.

For customers that are already running WorkPoint Express 365, an administrator has to approve WorkPoint Express 365 to use these permissions. Once these permissions are granted - the new functionality be instantly available on release.

For new customers, after the release - will be submitting the updated application manifest to Microsoft for review. This is simply to explicitly declare these permissions as dependencies as part of the Office Add-In listing. Once Microsoft review and approve this update, the store listing will show these permissions as pre-requisites and new installations will prompt users to grant consent accordingly.

What do I need to do?

For existing customers, the updated application will begin requesting additional permissions to support the new functionality as soon as it the release is deployed. If these permissions are not already granted, users will start to see a consent prompts as Express 365 requests an application token with the new scopes.

Although technically, the permissions requested by WorkPoint 365 do not require Admin Consent, tenant restrictions will typically block users for consenting to all but very basic permissions for applications from verified publishers such as WorkPoint (see ms.learn for more details).

This means that in most tenants, unless the permissions are pre-approved by an administrator regular users will receive the "Need Admin Approval" consent dialog (1 below) instead of the "Permissions Requested" alternative (2) which is only available if a users are allowed to approve all the permissions WorkPoint Express 365 requires.

Even if the User Consent option is available in your tenant, such prompts can disrupt users and create uncertainty about whether the requests are expected.

To provide a controlled and predictable rollout, it is recommended that permissions are granted centrally by an administrator.

You can grant consent in one of two ways:

2. After release interactively:

Alternatively, after the release is deployed - if an administrator with the privilege to grant tenant-wide admin consent (per article here) opens WorkPoint Express 365 - the interactive consent prompt will provide the extended option to "Consent on behalf of your organisation" (per 2 in the screenshot below). Checking this box and clicking "Accept" will grant the necessary permissions for all users and avoid the inconvenience of individual user consent prompts.

While the above interactive admin consent will grant the required permissions and suppress consent prompts for all users - it would require that an administrator is among the very first users to access WorkPoint Express 365 after the release. Depending on user patterns, this might be hard to predict. WorkPoint therefore recommend that the consent link approach is used prior to the release to minimize user inconvenience and confusion.

New Permissions

For reference, the table below provides the details of the new permissions that WorkPoint Express 365 is requesting as part of this update.

Permission	Description	Type	Requires Admin Consent	Used For	Description
Files.ReadWrite > Files.ReadWrite.All	Allows the application to have full access to all files user can already access.	Delegated	No	Supporting Simple File upload via Drag and Drop	With the June 2026, WPE365 now supports Drag and Drop actions. Users can now drag Emails and Attachments from the Outlook Mail host to Drop Zones on WorkPoint Business Modules, Entities and Document Libraries. In addition to the existing WorkPoint Automate-based upload, WorkPoint Express 365 now supports direct drag and drop of emails and attachments from Outlook into libraries, using File.ReadWrite.All (delegated) to upload .eml files and attachments on behalf of the user, constrained by their existing SharePoint permissions. You can read more about how WorkPoint Express 365 uses this permission to for simple email and file upload in the support article here.
User.Read > User.ReadWrite	Allows the app to update the profile properties for the signed-in user's work or school account	Delegated	No	Storing user preferences and application state using Microsoft Graph Open Extensions API.	Prior to this release, WorkPoint Express 365 stored application state (e.g. Last Viewed Entity) and user preferences (e.g. Preferred Business Module View) in browser local storage specific to the Outlook host. To support cross-host scenarios (Word, Excel, PowerPoint), this data is now stored as Microsoft Graph extension data enabling per-user, cloud-based persistence.Preference and state data is written and retrieved via the graph endpoint which requires User.ReadWrite access to manipulate. `https://graph.microsoft.com/me/extensions/com.workpoint.express365.preferences` If this permission is NOT granted, WPE365 will gracefully revert to using local/browser web storage. State settings will be unique with each host application.
