If you're going to finish your sentence with a preposition (in this context), then "in" would work because finishing with "to" would be incorrect.

A: I looked at the list. Where's the information about the meeting?
B: Sorry! I'll add it.
B: Sorry! I'll add it to the list.
B: Sorry! I'll add it in the list.

"... add this to" is more natural in both those examples.

Note that "to add in" is a [phrasal] verb, so your examples above would read "add this in in other sections" and "add this in in an upcoming update".

Is it still possible to use though or is it grammatically incorrect?

"Add it to"

"Put it in"

That's what you should learn from this.
