Roadmap for Microsoft Edge Add-ons
These are the next planned Partner Center features or updates for Microsoft Edge extensions.
Deprecation of the Update REST API v1
As of September 6, 2024, both v1.1 and v1 of the Update REST API are supported. Support for v1 will end on December 31, 2024.
See Using the REST API for updating Microsoft Edge Add-ons.
Sidebar extensions
Use the Sidebar API to make your new or existing Microsoft Edge extension appear in the sidebar. Any extension can use the sidebar, in addition to its other UI.
Sidebar extensions are not yet in a stable release of Microsoft Edge.
See Develop an extension for the Microsoft Edge sidebar.
Developers can add their contact information
Users of your extension will be able to report issues through the extension's webpage on the Microsoft Edge Add-ons website. Developer support information will be shown on the product page of an extension. This information will allow users to directly reach out to the extension developer for extension-specific support.
