NOTE: ShortPoint SPFx and ShortPoint SPFx - Install Now! can take between 30 seconds to 10 minutes to appear. Reload the page or wait for a couple of minutes if you see dimmed (disabled) icons.
Step 3: Run ShortPoint SPFx Installation
On the ShortPoint Dashboard, choose Installation.
You will see two options on the Installation page:
- Site Collection Scope Installation: This allows you to install ShortPoint on all sites and subsites within the site collection. If it is disabled, it will only install ShortPoint on the current site.
- Install for Classic Pages: This allows you to install ShortPoint for both Classic and Modern ShortPoint pages. By default, this option is disabled because scripting capabilities must first be enabled. Make sure to enable scripting capabilities before you proceed with this option. Otherwise, you will receive an error.
Once you've chosen your installation preference, click Install.
Once installation is complete, a green pop-up will appear indicating that the installation was completed successfully.
