Download the latest version of SafeSend
The instructions below were written as a general guide for the .NET CORE 8.0-capable web server of your choice.
- Create a new server with the latest version of SafeSend in the host of your choice
- Copy settings to the new version:
- If using Azure:
- On the source/old SafeSend App Service, click Configuration->Application Settings->Advanced Edit
- Select all json text and copy
- On the destination/new SafeSend App Service, click Configuration->Application Settings->Advanced Edit
- Select all json text and paste the previously copied text in its place
- Click OK
- Click Save
- If you've configured using settings.json:
- Open your existing settings.json file and open the newest version of the settings.json file for comparison
- You can open both in any text editor, placing the two documents side-by-side, or...
- You can open both files in a text compare tool, which will highlight the differences
- Copy your existing configuration over to the new settings.json, setting by setting
- This may seem tedious, but it allows you to keep your existing configuration without losing all of the new settings/features within the updated settings.json file
- Open your existing settings.json file and open the newest version of the settings.json file for comparison
- If using Azure:
- Side load or deploy to your test users, then verify the latest version of SafeSend is working by navigating to <yourWebURLhere>/manifest
- Make sure that you remove the old manifest for the test users first, otherwise, you could get double-prompted
- To enable debug mode within your web client, you'll need to use /manifestlog instead; visit Web Add-in: Debug Mode for full details
- Once you're satisfied with your test deployment, remove the previous version of Safesend for everyone else
- If you’re using Exchange Server, deploy the latest version as desired
- If you’re using Exchange Online, update your existing web add-in manifest.xml with the manifest file you tested with above in Step 4
- Please note, if you get an ID mismatch error, update the ID tag in the manifest.xml file before attempting to upgrade SafeSend again
- Once SafeSend is updated in Exchange Online, it could take up to 12 hours to propagate; the logs of the old version should be checked before shutting down the server to verify that there are no clients still using the old version
