IMPORTANT:  After extracting,  you will find the shortpoint-spfx.sppkg file. Kindly save this file in your Computer where you can easily locate it, as this is the file that we need to upload in the SharePoint App Catalog page.

From your computer, choose the shortpoint-spfx.sppkg (1) file. Then, click Open (2).


Choose the ShortPoint Package and click Open


NOTE: It is important to select the .sppkg file, and not the folder that contains it.


Click OK in the pop-up window to confirm the file selection: 


Click OK to proceed
