Where they talk about it

Quotes

  • no validated quote falls inside this feature's time range

Caveats mentioned

  • For new PTEs only immediate install or the update window is possible

Documented features match

  • No documented item matched. PTE management in admin center not documented
  • Product documentation: Managing Apps, checked 2026-10-02. Administrators can upload and schedule installation of Per-Tenant Extensions (PTEs) from the Manage Apps page in the Admin Center. Note: Release plan 2026 wave 1 (/release-plan/2026wave1/.../upload-install-manage-ptes-admin-center, GA Jul 7 2026) documents the same capability for an earlier wave.

Docs checked on 2026-10-02: the match is against Microsoft's what's new pages for the wave as they were on that date. Microsoft keeps filling the documentation, so "no documented item" can go stale.
