Status evidence

Where they talk about it

Quotes

  • 0:08 "It's not technically very very new because we are silently released it in minor update three" - States that the app already shipped earlier, with no fanfare, so it is not a brand new feature.
  • 0:24 "So, up was available on App Store, available for installation, but not forced." - Explains the earlier availability model: installable from AppSource but not pre-installed.
  • 1:42 "Now subcontracting operations can benefit from the same warehouse uh processes. So, no need to handle them differently." - Design goal: subcontracting reuses the standard warehouse handling.

Caveats mentioned

  • Was not pre-installed on new or upgraded environments when first released
  • Upgraded environments need to install it themselves

Documented features match

  • Set up and explore subcontracting more easily - low confidence (llm). Docs say: General availability, roadmap id 573353. General subcontracting area
  • Product documentation (partial, the article describes the broader feature or mentions this in passing): Subcontracting overview, checked 2026-10-02. Subcontracting is a Microsoft-published extension. You can install it from the Extension Management page or get it from Microsoft Marketplace. Note: Subcontracting app shipped in 2026 release wave 1 (GA 2026-07-08); article documents the app, not specifically wave 2. Pre-installation on new environments is not stated; overview contrasts basic tools with app capabilities.

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.
