Information & Compatibility
BriefCatch 3 Enterprise Onboarding Guide
Contents
Supported Versions
BriefCatch 3 is a Microsoft-approved AppSource Office Add-in designed to work across Windows, macOS, and Microsoft 365 Online environments.
- Windows: Word for Microsoft 365 (recommended) or Word 2021+ (Version 2108 or later)
- Mac: Word for Microsoft 365 (recommended) or Word 2021+ (Version 16.40 or later)
- Word Online: Microsoft 365 Online (web version, Windows or Mac)
Note: BriefCatch 3 no longer supports Word 2016 or Word 2019. Office 2016 and 2019 will reach Microsoft end of support in October 2025. These versions may rely on Internet Explorer-based technology that is no longer supported. While BriefCatch may continue to work in some older configurations of Word 2019, we strongly recommend using Word for Microsoft 365 for full compatibility and ongoing updates.
Deployment Requirements
BriefCatch 3 supports centralized deployment via the Microsoft 365 Admin Center, which requires Exchange Online as outlined in Microsoft’s Centralized Deployment documentation.
If your organization is not using Exchange Online, you'll need to consider alternate deployment options.
Cloud-Based, Privacy-Focused
BriefCatch 3 is cloud-based for seamless updates and performance, but we do not store, log, or retain any document text—ever. For full details, visit our Security section.
