AWS quick documentation change

Service: quick · 2026-04-10 · Documentation low

File: quick/latest/userguide/word-extension.md

Summary

Added documentation for Trusted Token Issuer Setup during initial extension access configuration, including steps to note the issuer ARN and configure ARN and Aud claim fields. Updated step numbering accordingly.

Security assessment

The change adds documentation about configuring a trusted token issuer (OIDC identity provider) and specifying the audience claim (Aud claim) for Microsoft Word extension access. This is a security feature that establishes trusted identity sources for authentication. While it enhances security documentation, there's no evidence it addresses a specific security vulnerability or incident.
