Onboarding

Here are some common questions from users during onboarding.

I want to use a different user than what has been detected

When you are in the onboarding process in Excel, we let you know the details of the user you are logged into Office with, as we will use this user to associate you with xpna and your trial.

If you want to change this to be a different user during this process, you will need to follow these steps so that Excel correctly identifies you to us and associates the xpna add-in with the correct user:

  • Switch accounts using the account management badge in the top right corner of Excel.
  • Close Excel.
  • Click through on the "Open In Excel" button from the email or page with your setup code.

After doing this, you should be back at the Welcome page inside the add-in, the account you are logged into Office as is the one you want, and the Getting Started workbook is open.

You should now re-enter your setup code and continue to validate the correct user details are showing.

If they are correct, you can add your workspace name and continue on to complete the onboarding process.

If you are getting any error messages or you are just unsure what to do, please feel free to reach out to us through one of our support channels.

This is safe to continue, and you should press "Yes" in response to this warning, and Excel will then continue on loading the file.

Then, again depending on the security settings in your Microsoft Office environment, you might get this warning:
