RequestedHeight - Specifies the initial height (in pixels) of a content add-in. A value between 32 and 450.
RequestedWidth - Specifies the initial width (in pixels) of a content add-in. A value between 32 and 1000.


ItemRead is used to specify how the add-in appears when the user reads messages and appointments.
ItemEdit describes how the add-in appears while the user is composing a reply, new message, new appointment or editing an appointment where they are the organizer.
These settings are directly related to the activation rules in the Rule element.
For example, if an add-in specifies that it should appear on a message in compose mode, an ItemEdit form must be specified.


The DesktopSettings, TabletSettings, and PhoneSettings elements are available only in classic Outlook on the web (usually connected to older versions of on-premises Exchange server) and Outlook 2013 on Windows.
