Can Word Add-Ins deploy like manifest-driven assemblies?

[Big Dave]

Hi.

My question may betray my lack of knowledge - apologies if the question is
nonsensical!

Basically, I am tasked with investigation deployment details of Word
development. I was wondering how Add-Ins developed in Visual Studio (for
making a custom ribbon or calling .NET code in a local assembly, for example)
are deployed?

Also, is there any equivalent of OneTouch for Add-Ins? Can they download 'on
demand' from a central location, for example?

Thanks lots for any help!
