docs(addons): document expected Outlook prompts and popup-blocker workaround#206
Merged
Conversation
…p-blocker workaround Adds a new closing list item to the Outlook install instructions (en + nl) covering two recurring user-confusion points: 1. The "PostGuard wants to open a dialog" Outlook security prompt and the Yivi signing prompt are part of the standard flow — users should expect them and click Allow. 2. If nothing happens after clicking Send/Decrypt, popups are likely blocked; pointer to allow popups for the relevant domain.

Addresses two recurring user-confusion points reported on 2026-05-08 about the PostGuard Outlook add-in. Both fixes are documentation on the public install page (
/addons, Outlook tab), in English and Dutch.Summary
Adds a new closing list item to the Outlook install instructions covering:
outlook.office.com(web) or the add-in domain (desktop).The triggering issue suggested adding a screenshot. I did not add an image because I cannot capture one of the live Outlook UI; the textual note still resolves the underlying confusion. A screenshot can be added in a follow-up by anyone with an Outlook session.
Issues addressed
Scope note
This branch only adds the two doc items above. The other Outlook-related website issues filed on 2026-05-08 (#160, #161, #164, #165, #166, #169, #171, #172) were already shipped via #204 — those issues just need to be closed (will follow up with comments on each).
Reviewer quickstart
Open http://localhost:5173/addons, switch to the Outlook tab, scroll to the bottom of the install instructions to see the new "What to expect when sending or decrypting" list item. Toggle to Dutch and verify the same content appears.
