[What and why]
We are introducing a self-service onboarding experience for new applications submitted to the Microsoft Entra App Gallery. This experience helps independent software vendors (ISVs) validate supported single sign-on (SSO) and user provisioning integrations before submission, identify and resolve common configuration issues earlier in the process, and track submission status through a guided workflow in the Microsoft Entra admin center. By enabling publishers to validate integrations and manage submissions directly, this experience streamlines the publishing process.
[Rollout schedule]
- Public Preview: Available now
- General Availability (Worldwide): Beginning in mid-November 2026 and expected to complete by late December 2026
[Impact on your organization]
Who is affected
- Independent software vendors (ISVs) and developers submitting new applications to the Microsoft Entra App Gallery

What will happen
- Publishers can validate supported OpenID Connect (OIDC), SAML, and user provisioning integrations before application submission.
