Revert extension after review is complete but yet to be published

[Abhishek D]

We are trying to work on release plan, as we have a test and a production extension. I was wondering if there is an option to revert an extension that has been approved but yet to be published.

This is a common use-case, say instead of releasing a new version which has been approved but yet to be published, we would like to do a hot fix first. Currently I don't see an option to submit another version for review if the current approved one hasn't been published. Also don't see the option to revert the approved item.

If there is no option to revert an approved item, any pointers for a release cycle with a test and prod extension. The above problem might happen when a test and a prod extension have been submitted for review at the same time, otherwise it will be a longer release cycle for the test item to be approved and published first before submitting the prod item for the review again.

Please assist. Thanks

You can't cancel or revert a submission, but you can use the deferred publish feature to prevent a submission from going live once it completes reivew.

Gotcha. I would like to know if there is a way to cancel the approved version. So, lets say the item that is deferred publish has a bug, and i would like to submit a new version, is it possible to submit a new version for review without publishing the existing one?

From my experience, deferred publish meant that you can publish it manually laster up to a certain timeframe. As in I have not seen a scheduler feature.

If you leave the deferred one alone, it will expire after certain time (maybe a month?). If you just publish another version, it will overwrite the one that you have deferred publish on.

Is it possible to submit a new version for review without publishing the existing one?

Yes, you can upload a new version for review again. Users don't get any reviewed but unpublished version. Defer publish means that although you can't cancel the review process, you can cancel the release of this version.
