Resolution

Procedure to Re-Install inSync with Microsoft 365:

  1. From the global navigation panel, click Microsoft 365.

  2. On the Overview page, click on “Manage Apps”.

  3. From the three dots menu, click “Re-Install” beside the app type that you want to reconfigure.


📝 Note

The Microsoft 365 tenant must be the same for all the sub-apps you would like to configure. Configuring sub-apps for Microsoft 365 in multiple tenants is not supported.​


4. On the confirmation pop-up, click Re-Install to proceed with reinstallation.

5 . On the Microsoft 365 login page, enter the Microsoft 365 global administrator's username and password, and then click Sign in.

6. Click Accept to grant the inSync app the required permissions to access Microsoft 365 data.

7. The permissions displayed are a combined list for all Microsoft 365 apps.
