Note: The ShortPoint SPFx - Install Now! usually takes between 30 seconds to 10 minutes to appear. If you see dimmed (disabled) ShortPoint icons, please wait a bit more and reload your page.
Step 3: Run ShortPoint SPFx installation
In the ShortPoint Dashboard, click Installation.
In the ShortPoint Dashboard, you will see two installation options:
- 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.
After selecting your preferred installation options, click Install.
