# Install the Web Service for Placing Holds

To hold and release documents you must install an Micro Focus web service on the SharePoint server. This is because the API used to hold and release documents only accepts instructions from applications that are deployed on the SharePoint server.

When you install the SharePoint Remote Connector, the web service is copied to a folder in the connector's installation directory. There are three versions of the web service, one for SharePoint 2010, one for SharePoint 2013, and one for SharePoint 2016.

To install the web service

1. Copy the correct version of `AutonomySharePointRemoteHolds.wsp` onto the SharePoint server.
2. Run the SharePoint management console.

3. Run the following commands, replacing the path in the first command with the correct path for your environment:

       Add-SPSolution c:\path\to\AutonomySharePointRemoteHolds.wsp

       Install-SPSolution -Identity AutonomySharePointRemoteHolds.wsp -GACDeployment

To remove the web service

1. Run the SharePoint management console.

2. Run the following commands:

       Uninstall-SPSolution –Identity AutonomySharePointRemoteHolds.wsp

       Remove-SPSolution –Identity AutonomySharePointRemoteHolds.wsp
