Note
Windows users who aren't on Windows 11 also need to download and install WebView 2 from Microsoft. This is because the Sidebar now uses Microsoft Edge Chromium instead of Internet Explorer. You can download WebView 2 from Microsoft Edge Developer.
If you use Linux or macOS, nothing changes for you. You won't need to download WebView 2.
If you use Oxygen Eclipse with a CMS such as Ixiasoft, Acrolinx provides a dropin package that you can install just like any other dropin. Get the Acrolinx for Oxygen dropin from your company download area.
