How do I deploy custom (in-house) Chromium Edge extensions to my organization?
Andrew Colombino - If you do not want to publish your extension to store (as hidden as well), the other option is to host the extension in a location within your network that is accessible to all users' devices & use the extension install source policy (which allows you to set the network location from where the extension can be picked up) along with force install policy to deploy the extension.
Here is the policy documentation for your reference:

Thanks!
Balaje_Krishnan Thank you for the awesome reply. The instructions were great, the one issue that we are having here is updating extensions right now. We put in an updated version at the site and when close/open the browser, or even hit "Update" in the extensions page the extension isn't updating.
One question I did have regarding the update_url. Is that actually pointing the crx file or is that supposed to be an xml file. If so, what's the standard xml file? I've seen the chrome version, which I copied and seems like it can work, but that's where I'm thinking we are having issues right now.
The only way I can get extensions to update is by going to a link and clicking the link, but that doesn't work when we use forceinstall. Of course if we are using forceinstall we would like it to auto update.
Thanks.

Hi, I have the same issue as JamieRytlewski. I want to update extensions with new crx and xml, but when I replace file and group policy is applied appropriately to a clientPC, but it does not work, in detail being not updated.
Does anyone have a solution to this?
Thank you,
Ryo
