Once your extension is packaged, you can upload it to the Marketplace under a publisher. The publisher identifier specified in your extension's manifest file must match the identifier of the publisher the extension is uploaded under.
-
From the management portal, select your publisher from the drop-down menu at the top of the page.
-
Select New extension > Azure DevOps.

-
Drag and drop your file or select it to find your VSIX file, which you created in the previous packaging step, and then choose Upload.
After quick validation, your extension appears in the list of published extensions. Don't worry, the extension is only visible to you.

At this point, your extension isn't visible to any accounts and can't be installed until you share it.
Note
Microsoft runs a virus scan on each new and updated extension package published. Until the scan is all clear, we don't publish the extension in the Marketplace for public usage. This way we also avoid surfacing inappropriate or offensive content on the Marketplace pages.
