Provide required information needed to triage your issue

ExtendedOverrides is not a valid child element of OfficeApp in the namespace of 'http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/appforoffice/1.1"

Your Environment

• Platform: PC Host: Outlook

• Office version number: 1.13.1 Operating System: Windows 10

• Browser: Chrome

Expected behavior

I follow the steps outlined here and I can add an field to my manifest.xml.

Current behavior

When I go to add it (or validate it), it fails. Validating gives the following error:

XML Schema Validation Error: Error found during XML Schema validation.

Steps to reproduce

1. Add field below

2. npm run validate

3. Should fail

Provide additional details

My VersionOverrides of the following format:

<VersionOverrides xmlns=http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/mailappversionoverrides xsi:type="VersionOverridesV1_0">
  <VersionOverrides xmlns-http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/mailappversionoverrides/1.1 xsi: type="VersionOverridesV1_1">
   ... 
  </VersionOverrides>
</VersionOverrides>

with the ExtendedOverrides follows:

<VersionDverrides xmlns=http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/mailappversionoverrides xsi:type-"VersionOverridesV1_8">
  <VersionOverrides xmlns=http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/mailappversionoverrides/1.1 xsi:type="VersionOverridesV1_1">

Context

I am trying to add keyboard shortcuts to my Outlook Add-in to open and close the taskpane, just as in the examples given.

Hi @SamuelTrew Keyboard shortcuts are not supported on Outlook according to this doc -https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/dev/add-ins/design/keyboard-shortcuts . It is only supported on Excel.

@neprasad-microsoft Ah missed that part, thank you.

Is there any plan to add support for them do you know?

Thank you.

There is an ambiguity in the documentation. Although ExtendedOverride is in the XML schema, it is absent in the Outlook manifest docs.
