Summary

Updated Microsoft Word extension documentation from legacy to preview version, simplified deployment process, added security notes about AI execution in sandbox, and restructured content.

Security assessment

The change adds explicit security documentation about sandboxed AI execution risks and data usage policies, but doesn't reference any specific vulnerability or incident. The security additions are preventative best-practice disclosures rather than vulnerability fixes.

-## Prerequisites for Microsoft Word extension
-
-Before adding the Amazon Quick extension to Microsoft Word, administrators must complete the following steps:
-
-  1. Have a Microsoft 365 Business subscription and be a Global Admin or have administrative permissions (specifically `AppCatalog.ReadWrite.All`).
-
-  2. Have a Amazon Quick instance.
-
-  3. Your Microsoft 365 tenant ID. You can find this by going to the Azure portal > **Azure Active Directory** > **Properties** , or by using PowerShell. For detailed steps, see [How to find your tenant ID - Microsoft Entra](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/fundamentals/how-to-find-tenant) in the Microsoft Learn portal.

-
-If you configured the authentication to connect to Amazon Quick with IAM Identity Center, complete the following additional steps:
-
-  1. Ensure you have an IAM Identity Center instance enabled on your AWS account.
-
-  2. If you are connecting an external IAM provider to IAM Identity Center, ensure that every user under your IAM provider configuration has an email associated with them.
-
-  3. If you are using Entra ID, set up SCIM identity propagation between the Microsoft Entra ID instance and IAM Identity Center. For detailed steps, see [Configure SAML and SCIM with Microsoft Entra ID and IAM Identity Center](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/singlesignon/latest/userguide/azure-ad-idp.html).

-## Configure Microsoft Word extension access

-As an administrator, you must allow the Amazon Quick Microsoft Word Extension to connect to your Amazon Quick application environment and web experience. You can use the Amazon Quick console to manage extension access configurations.
-
-### User attribute mapping
-
-When you configure a Microsoft Word extension, user identity is mapped by default using the following attributes:
-
-  * **Amazon Quick user attribute** \- Email address is used to map Amazon Quick users to their corresponding Microsoft 365 accounts. The system uses the email address to establish the connection between user identities.
-
-  * **M365 Office add-in user attribute** \- User Principal Name (UPN) is used to match against Microsoft 365 user accounts. Users need to use the User Principal Name (UPN) to sign in to Microsoft 365. Email address that works on both cloud and on-premise systems.

-These default mappings ensure secure and accurate user identification across both platforms without requiring additional configuration.

-Follow these steps to configure a Trusted Token Issuer on your IAM Identity Center instance in your AWS Console:
-
-###### To configure a Trusted Token Issuer
-
-  1. Go to your AWS account and navigate to your IAM Identity Center instance.
-
-  2. Navigate to **Settings** , **Authentication**.
-
-  3. Choose **Create trusted token issuer**.

-###### Note
-
-The issuer URL should be the OIDC discovery endpoint of your identity without the well-known document URI path. If you include the well-known document URI path, this will not work. See Trusted token issuer configuration settings.
-
-  5. Choose **Email** as the Identity Provider attribute and IAM Identity Center attribute.
-
-  6. Note the trusted token issuer ARN. You will need this in a later step.
-
-
-
-
-After completing these Entra ID-specific steps, proceed to the Complete AWS Configuration (all providers) section below.

-
-    8. Under **Grant type** > **Advanced** > **Other grants** , ensure **Implicit (hybrid)** is selected.
-
-  2. Add callback URIs for each Region in which your Word extension will be installed
