- Select Preview Your Office Add-in (F5)
- In the Quick Pick menu, select the option {Office Application} Desktop (Edge Chromium), where '{Office Application}' is the appropriate application, such as "Excel" or "Word". This will launch the add-in and debug the code.
The development kit checks that the prerequisites are met before debugging starts. Check the terminal for detailed information if there are issues with your environment.

You'll need to install the certificate when prompted.
