24 TopicsExcited about the Microsoft Marketplace?
Good morning, as the former BizApps PDM at Microsoft driving 100's of ISV solutions to the marketplace I wanted to ensure the community realized that the marketplace is now driving leads directly to partners from customers around the world exploring the marketplace. If you have been in the marketplace for a few months and are seeing little interest or leads it should guide you to further optimize your listing and also do a competitive analysis of other solutions in the marketplace. I am and have always been excited about the Microsoft Marketplace and hope you are too! - John O'Donnell https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnodonnellmsft/Scale smarter: Discover how resale enabled offers drive growth

In the FY26 SDC Partner Investments Office Hours, and Updates for SDC's sessions, there is a slide about two key marketplace rewards. One is Customer Propensity Scoring, the other is Azure Sponsorship. I seem to be unable to find more information or links (in MPC, or other various Microsoft sites)to be able to use the Customer Propensity Scoring. Could someone please shed some more light on this and how to access/submit the list and in what format and structure, for propensity scoring?SolvedApp Advisor updates: Build smarter, publish faster with these new features

I'm currently in the process of publishing an Office Add-in. From what I’ve observed in Microsoft’s add-in review process, there doesn’t seem to be a way to create a preview or private link for an add-in published to the store. I’d like to obtain a private link to test the add-in across different platforms before making it publicly available. This would help ensure there are no issues when users install it from the store on various platforms. Other cloud providers, such as Google, offer similar functionality for their Google Workspace add-ons, allowing developers to test and share private versions before public release. Microsoft should consider providing a similar feature for Office Add-ins to support better testing, validation, and rollout strategiesError when i try to test deploy our Azure application offer solution from marketplace
