Staged rollout of a new extension version #365
-
According to the doc vs code will auto-update extensions Is there a way for extension publishers to control the rollout speed? We may want to roll out minor version update or critical security patch more aggressively, EDIT: Based on the answer, I finally opened a feature request in microsoft/vsmarketplace#550. |

Hi @hyangah , No, you can't control the rollout. Once you publish the extension, and it passes the verification process of the marketplace, the new release will be available for every user. The only official solution, for now, is Pre-release extensions. Or, you could publish a second Insiders extension, like GitLens does (https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=eamodio.gitlens-insiders). BTW, there is an open issue in the VS Marketplace repo, requesting to unpublish a specific version of an extension microsoft/vsmarketplace#235. I suggest you to upvote there. Hope this helps |
