Hi v-abhinavmu​ 

For Power BI's certified connectors, we have not used the Partner Center that you shared in the links above.

We went through the certification process, but were instructed to continue sharing submissions over email

    Hi BreannaNery​,
    Thank you for the clarification.

    Based on the current Microsoft documentation, the Partner Center process described for updating certified connectors applies to Microsoft Copilot Studio, Power Automate, Power Apps, and Azure Logic Apps. The documentation does not indicate that the Power BI certified connector update process has moved from the email-based process to Partner Center.

    For Power BI, Microsoft documents that it certifies and distributes a limited set of custom connectors as certified connectors, while the third-party developer maintains and supports the connector.

    Since Autodesk Forma is an existing Power BI certified connector and you submitted the update through the process previously provided by your Microsoft contacts, I recommend checking with your usual Microsoft contact regarding the status of the July 2026 submission and whether there are any updated instructions for Power BI certified connector updates.

    For more details, please refer to the below Official Microsoft Documentation:
    Connector Extensibility in Power BI - Power BI | Microsoft Learn
    Update your certified connector | Microsoft Learn

    I hope this clarifies the distinction between the Power BI certified connector documentation and the Partner Center process described for the other connector platforms.

    Thank you.
