Currently, the board office Add-in does not show the version of the add-in right in the tool (for example in Excel). Once the add-in is installed, in the Board ‘Add-in Settings’ where it says, ‘Board Office Add-in Setting’ (see the screenshot below) can it say, for example, ‘Board Office Add-in Setting (12.5.xxxx)’ or a line below as ‘version 12.5.xxxx’.

I think it should be simple and easily accommodated change, but it will of great help especially with business users not so tech-savvy. I am spending time explaining users how to check their version. This way they can do it themselves.

    Good suggestion here, Sudarshan.

    For anybody else stumbling across this post when looking for their Office add-in version, this can be found in the Control Panel area as per the following screen shot:

    Thank you for sharing your idea, @Sudarshan Dharankar. We appreciate the time and effort you put into crafting your suggestion.

    Great news, the board office Add-in version you described above has been implemented in the B14 Beta and improved in in the B14.1 version. Please have a look and test it and if you continue experiencing the same behavior let us know.
