Hi everyone,

Earlier in the Shopify Partner Dashboard, there used to be an option to enable or disable “Developer Preview” for extensions.

Now that Shopify has migrated everything to the new Dev Dashboard, I can’t find this toggle anywhere.

In the old dashboard, it used to appear under:

App → Extensions → [Your Extension] → Developer Preview toggle

But in the new Dev Dashboard, I don’t see any such option under my extension settings.

Has this Developer Preview toggle been removed or moved somewhere else in the new Dev Dashboard?

If it’s deprecated, what’s the new way to enable preview/testing for extensions in development stores?

Would appreciate if someone from Shopify or the community could confirm whether this is:

  1. A temporary issue during migration, or

  2. An intentional change in how extension previews work in the new Dev Dashboard.

Thanks!

Hi @raj_asha , The process is different now
No exact post for this but you’ll want to be on the actual dev forums.

If nothing found in search make the post there.

I’ve also seen this type of question in the partner slack, so you’ll want to check that too.
