# How do I keep my Salesflare plugin enabled in Microsoft Outlook?

How do I re-enable a disabled add-in for Outlook 2010, 2013, 2016, 2019 or the latest 365 version?

**_Update_**_: The below guide is only applicable to Salesflare's old COM Outlook add-in, not to the currently available add-in installed through Outlook's app store._

You've downloaded and installed the Outlook plugin, restarted your Outlook program... but can't see it in your inbox? 

It's possible that **Microsoft disabled the plugin** or it's set to **inactive**. Here's how to re-enable it.

It may also happen that you turned off "Show sidebar" in the Salesflare tile in the Outlook ribbon and forgot about it. In that case, just turn it back on. ✅

Here's where you can find this. 👇
