Submission process for Certified Connectors
I'm one of the owners of a certified connector (Autodesk Forma). Historically, we've been instructed to submit updates for our certified connector over email.
We submitted an update for our certified connector in July 2026 and have yet to receive a response from our usual contacts. Has any changes been made to the certified connector submission process?

Hi BreannaNery,
Thank you for bringing this up.According to the current Microsoft documentation, updates to an existing certified connector follow the certification process. For verified publishers, connector updates are submitted through Partner Center.
For an existing certified connector, Microsoft recommends reopening the existing offer in Partner Center and updating the relevant section under Product Overview. A new offer should not be created for an existing connector update. Once the update is submitted, Microsoft reviews the updated connector and, if it passes certification, provides a preview environment for testing. After testing is completed, the publisher can confirm Go live in Partner Center, after which Microsoft proceeds with deployment.
Since your update was submitted in July and you have not yet received a response, I would recommend checking with your usual Microsoft contact regarding the status of the submission and whether any further action is required.
For more details, please refer to the below Official Microsoft Documentation:
