title: How to put an add in for word 2013 using manifest.xml
body: <p>I have created an add in for word 2013 task pane </p>
  
  <p>now I want to to check whether it is working or not </p>
  
  <p>where and how should i keep the manifest.xml file so has to see whether the add in is working properly or not.</p>
  
  <p>PS:  I do not want to use office online it should be through the word in the desktop.</p>
  
  <p>so I would go to File> options > add ins > manage add ins > xml schema > add > (I would add the manifest.xsd to it ) </p>
  
  <p>after this also I am not able to view the add in in the my - apps tab </p>
