Publishing your extension to the Microsoft Edge Add-ons store expands your reach to a diverse user base. While Chrome holds a large market share, Edge users are also actively seeking useful tools and enhancements.

Submitting to the Edge Add-ons store is similar to the Chrome Web Store process, but has its own specific steps and guidelines you need to follow.

Before you can submit an extension, you need a Microsoft Developer account. This account grants you access to the Partner Center, where you'll manage your submissions.

• Go to the Microsoft Partner Center.
• Sign in with your Microsoft account (e.g., Outlook, Hotmail).
• Follow the prompts to register as a developer for Edge Add-ons. There might be a one-time registration fee.

Once registered, you'll access the Microsoft Partner Center dashboard. This is your central hub for all Edge extension activities.

From here, you can:

• Start new submissions.
• Manage existing extensions.
• View analytics and performance data.
• Access support resources.

To begin, navigate to the "Extensions" section within the Partner Center and click "Create new extension".

You'll then be guided through a series of steps to provide all the necessary information and assets for your extension. It's crucial to have your extension package ready.

The first key step is to upload your extension package. This should be a single .zip file containing all your extension's files, including the manifest.json.

Ensure your manifest.json specifies "manifest_version": 3, as the Edge Add-ons store also requires Manifest V3 for new submissions.

Your store listing is what users see. It needs to be clear, compelling, and accurate. You'll provide:

• Extension Name: Unique and descriptive.
• Short & Long Description: Explain features and benefits.
• Categories: Help users find your extension.
• Screenshots & Promotional Images: Visually showcase your extension.
• Supported Languages: If localized.

Microsoft takes user privacy seriously. You must provide a valid Privacy Policy URL that clearly explains what data your extension collects, how it's used, and how users can manage it.

Also, declare any permissions your extension uses and justify why they are needed. Transparency builds user trust and helps avoid rejection during review.

On this step, you'll decide how your extension is distributed:

• Pricing: Most extensions are free. If you plan to charge, you'll need to configure payment details.
• Availability: Choose which markets/countries your extension will be available in. You can select worldwide or specific regions.

After submitting, your extension enters the review queue. Microsoft reviewers will check for compliance with their policies, functionality, and security.

The review process can take a few days. You'll receive status updates via email and in the Partner Center. Be prepared to address any feedback or issues raised by the reviewers.

Let's test your understanding of the Edge Add-ons store submission process.

In this lesson, we explored the specific steps for submitting your browser extension to the Microsoft Edge Add-ons store.

• Providing a clear store listing and a valid Privacy Policy are crucial.
