Uninstallation steps

1. Depending on your version and edition of Excel, find and click the Add-ins button:

   
   

   Excel edition	Add-in button
   Excel Desktop   on Windows	Navigate to the Home tab, then click Add-ins or in earlier versions: Navigate to the Insert tab, then click Get Add-ins
   Excel Desktop   on Mac	Navigate to the Insert tab, then click Store
   Excel Online	Navigate to the Home tab, then click Add-ins or in earlier versions: Insert > Office Add-ins

        2. From the Office Add-ins windows, go to the MY ADD-INS tab and click the three dots next to the Velixo add-in...

        3. Click Remove from the menu..

        4. then click Remove on the displayed dialog.

It is possible for Excel files to maintain a reference to an add-in even after the add-in has been uninstalled.  When Excel opens the file, it will re-introduce the NX add-in.  To avoid this, it is necessary to manually remove that reference.

        5. In Excel, click on File  ->  Info  ->  Check for Issues  ->  Inspect Document:

        6. On the Document Inspector window, check the boxes for 

        7. then click Inspect.

        8. If the Document Inspector reports that there are add-ins still found, then Click Remove All, and Close

Organizations using both Velixo Classic and Velixo NX

Some organizations use both Velixo products.  Thus, it would be common for a Velixo Classic user to open a file that had been created or modified by a Velixo NX user (where Excel has automatically included a reference to the NX add-in in that file) and be prompted to install that add-in:

This can happen every time such a file is opened in Excel with Velixo Classic.

There are two methods available to address this.

Option 1 - Install Velixo NX

By clicking Allow and Continue, Excel will install Velixo NX.  Since both Velixo Classic and Velixo NX can peacefully coexist within a single instance of Excel (NX simply does not initiate when Classic is present - thus giving full control to Classic), Excel will see that NX is present and will stop presenting the message each time such a file is opened.

Option 2 - Instruct Excel for Windows to clear references to the add-in

In Excel for Windows, you can configure Excel to "forget" about any add-in references it has encountered.

From the File ribbon, select Options > Trust Center > Trust Center Settings... > Trusted Add-in Catalogs

and check the box next to Next time Office starts, clear all previously-started web add-ins cache.

You can then close and re-start Excel for the setting to take effect.
