Hi everyone,

I'm having multiple problems with the Microsoft Office add-ins. I'm using MacOS 10.15.5, Microsoft Office 16.46 (currently the latest version) and the latest version of the draw.io desktop app. 
In Powerpoint, in the Insert ribbon, I can only see the draw.io button, but not the update or edit buttons; changing window size doesn't change this.
In Word, I can see all the buttons, but the update and edit buttons don't work (e.g. if I click edit with the diagram selected I get "No diagrams found in the selection").

Any advice? These features would be really useful to me, so would be great if there is a fix.

Word is OK for me. I'm on latest Word, but MacOS 11.2. I don't have a 10.15, unfortunately.

Do you have a document that reproduces the problem that you can send (sup...@diagrams.net)?

Regarding PP, due to technical limitations, inserted diagrams cannot be updated or edited (hence only draw.io button in the toolbar)

Exactly which draw.io addin are you using?

Thanks for looking into it! I've sent an example document that reproduces the problem to the support email address.
