The Microsoft Office integration is an Office add-in — not an OAuth connection. It doesn’t sync data back into Scanova; it lets you generate and drop a Scanova QR Code into a Word, Excel, or PowerPoint document without leaving Office.
This is a Design category integration, same shape as Canva, Google Docs, and Adobe. It has no “Active connection” state and doesn’t count against your integration connection quota — clicking through it in Scanova just opens the add-in’s marketplace listing.

​
Prerequisites

  • A Scanova account (any plan — the catalog and setup panel are visible regardless of plan; only the data-sync integrations enforce a connection quota)
  • A Microsoft 365 account with permission to install add-ins for the Office apps you use

​
Installing the add-in

1

Open the integration from Scanova

In the Scanova dashboard, go to Integrations in the left sidebar, click Add Integration, then filter to the Design category. Click Setup on the Microsoft Office card to open its setup panel.
2

Open the marketplace listing

Click Open in marketplace. This opens the official listing on Microsoft’s AppSource marketplace in a new tab: marketplace.microsoft.com/en-us/product/office/WA200009911.

3

Install the add-in in Office

Open Microsoft Word, Excel, or PowerPoint. Go to Home → Add-ins → More Add-ins, search for “Scanova QR Codes”, and click Install.
4

Sign in and generate a QR Code

Open the add-in from Home → Scanova QR Codes. Sign in with your Scanova account, then create a new QR Code or pick an existing one and insert it into your document — no switching apps.

​
What it’s for

Use this when your document already lives in Word, Excel, or PowerPoint — a proposal, a report, a slide deck — and you want a live Scanova QR Code embedded in the layout instead of pasting in a static image. It’s a document-authoring convenience, not a way to view scan analytics; for that, open the QR Code in Scanova directly.
  • Canva — the same design-time convenience, as a Canva app
  • Adobe — the same design-time convenience, as a plugin suite for Photoshop, InDesign, and Premiere Pro
  • Google Docs — the same design-time convenience, as an add-on for Docs, Slides, and Sheets
