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)
  
  

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.

Lower-tier plans, including Microsoft 365 Business Basic and Microsoft 365 Apps for Business, do not support Centralized Deployment. If your organization uses one of these plans, users may still be able to install the add-in individually, but organization-wide deployment will not be available.

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.
