* **Trial feature** advises users that the feature they are trying to use is not available in the trial version of the add-in. Alternatively, if your add-in is free but there's a feature in it that requires a subscription, you should consider using this pattern. You might also consider using this pattern to provide a downgraded experience after a trial has ended.

> Important:If you decide to manage your own trial, and not use the Office Store to manage the trial, ensure you include the **Additional purchase may be required** tag in the testing notes in the seller dashboard.
> Note: Consider whether showing users the first-run experience once or many times is important to your scenario. For example, if users use your add-in periodically, they may forget how to use the add-in. Seeing the first-run experience again may be helpful to those users.
