  1. Go to your Partner Center developer dashboard and select the extension that you want to update.

After your extension has been created initially, you can update your extension by Using the REST API for updating Microsoft Edge Add-ons.

Update your extension during the certification step

While your extension is in the certification stage, and before it gets published to the Microsoft Edge Add-ons website, you can update your submitted extension. You might also need to update your extension if your extension fails the certification process.

To check the status of your extension:

To edit (update) your submitted extension:

  2. To open the Extension overview section, use the left navigation bar. To cancel the current submission, select Cancel submission.

  3. Go to other sections and update either the extension package or the metadata of the extension. If you update the extension package, make sure that you increase the version number in the manifest file to match changes that were made after the previous package submission.

  4. After you finish making changes, select Publish.

    Important: The review process stops, your current submission is removed from the Microsoft Edge extensions certification pipeline, and then a new review starts, using the new submission.
