Hello Edge Add-on developers,

Microsoft is happy to announce updates to Partner Center based on your feedback. These changes streamline the process of submitting a Microsoft Edge extension for review at the [Microsoft Edge Add-ons store](https://microsoftedge.microsoft.com/addons/Microsoft-Edge-Extensions-Home).

## Microsoft Edge Add-ons Publish API:

The Microsoft Edge Add-ons Publish API is now in beta! With this addition, you can integrate APIs directly into your build pipeline and deploy packages and publish updated versions without visiting the Partner Center.

To learn more, you can check the below documentations:

## Microsoft Partner Center breadcrumbs:

The breadcrumbs feature has been added to the Microsoft Partner Center interface. Developers can now follow their exact path while navigating Partner Center.

This allows developers to:

- Maintain awareness of their location within Microsoft Partner Center

- Click on any breadcrumb to navigate back to the selected page

<br>

## Task Menu:

The Task Menu on Microsoft Partner Center has been revamped. The Overview section of the Microsoft Edge segment lists all your extensions which are either _In the Store or In draft_.

Clicking on an extension from this list takes you to the Extension overview page. This page includes task menu on the left showing all the sections of the selected extension – Package, Availability, Properties, Store listings, and Analytics.

This enables easy navigation between the extension package upload page and other pages. It also provides a transparent view of all the sections that developers need to complete when creating a new extension.


## Save & Continue / Publish:

The **Save & Continue** option has been added to the top-right corner of the extension submission workflow panel. This enables developers to add the necessary details then save and continue to the next step with one click.

The Publish button is blurred to indicate that the option is not yet available. Once you have completed all the details necessary to submit your add-on for review, the Publish option becomes active.

This change is also helpful when updating extensions, as you may directly publish your updates from any page.


## Extension overview:

The Extension overview panel remains the same and the status changes from grey to green next to each section that is updated.
