SharePoint apps

Note: 
  • From Nintex Automation (5.7) onwards there are two different apps for SharePoint. The legacy Nintex K2 for SharePoint app: used for SharePoint on-premises and upgraded environments for SharePoint Online, and Nintex Automation for SharePoint app: used on new installations for SharePoint Online.
  • Existing customers upgrading to Nintex Automation (5.7) use the legacy app from the SharePoint App Catalog for all SharePoint environments. New installations of Nintex Automation use the legacy app from the SharePoint App Catalog for SharePoint on-premises, and the new Nintex Automation for SharePoint app (SPFx) for SharePoint Online.
  • Google is rolling out changes to block third-party cookies in the Google Chrome browser. This affects Nintex K2 for SharePoint and Nintex Automation for SharePoint which loads Nintex K2 forms in an iframe. See the following topic in the latest help documentation for more information:

Update the app

Follow the steps below to update the app in the App Catalog. For more information and specific steps to deploy the app, see the product documentation.

  1. Download the new version of the app from this topic.
  2. Add the new version of the app on your App Catalog Site using the Apps for SharePoint list. If there is an existing app in the app catalog, you must replace the existing version with the new version, do not delete the existing version of the app. You grant Nintex K2 for SharePoint permissions during this step, and it requires Global Admin (Tenant) permissions, so you must be a Global Admin.
  3. Add the app to your app catalog. You grant Nintex K2 for SharePoint permissions during this step, and it requires Global Admin (Tenant) permissions, so you must be a Global Admin. If you already have an existing app, go to step 4.
  4. On the Site Contents page of the app catalog, click the upgrade link for Nintex K2 for SharePoint App. (If you do not see the link, go into the Details page for the app to upgrade it.)
  5. Click the Nintex K2 for SharePoint app from the Site Contents page or Quick Launch menu of the app catalog site, and run through the Registration Wizard by clicking the Registration Wizard link in the Administration section to register the app with your environment's URL. (If you do not see the Registration wizard, make sure you are on the app catalog.).
  6. Deploy the app to one or more site collections using the Manage App Deployments page in SharePoint. A link to this page is provided on the Nintex K2 for SharePoint settings page. It is recommended you do this by paths rather than individual URLs, but individual URLs give you more control regarding which site collections have Nintex K2 integration. You should deploy as a SharePoint Administrator if you are deploying to multiple site collections.
