Add-in Behaviour
The Acuite add-in loads with all Word documents.
It remains inactive unless the user explicitly connects to Acuite.
Connecting to Acuite
When the user connects, the add-in communicates with the Acuite API.
It retrieves configuration data, including available projects and widgets.
Interaction with the API
Additional API communication occurs when the user interacts with the add-in (e.g., inserting a graph or widget).
Only Acuite-related data is sent to the API, such as:
Selected project
Date ranges
Selected widget
Filter options
No document content is ever sent.
Saving the Document
Any Acuite-related settings or selections are saved within the document itself.
Auto-Update Feature
The add-in periodically checks for updates.
Users are prompted when a newer version is available.
