After you hide or retrieve an Office add-in, the add-ins list should update automatically so only your active add-ins show up. If the list doesn’t automatically update, you can manually refresh the list.

Important: New name for apps for Office - Office Add-ins. We are currently updating our products, documentation, samples, and other resources to reflect the platform name change from "apps for Office and SharePoint" to "Office and SharePoint Add-ins". We made this change to better distinguish the extension platform from Office apps (applications). While these changes are taking place, the dialogs and messages you see in your application might be different than what you see in this article.
