# Discover objects in connected Business Central environments

> Development: Discover objects in connected Business Central environments. Generally available, GA 2026-10 (Microsoft 365 roadmap). "Search objects installed in a connected Business Central environment, including owning-app metadata needed to add dependencies and download the correct symbols. Business value: Developers and coding agents can discover AL objects that are installed in the target Business Central environment even when the corresponding symbols haven't yet been downloaded into the workspace.

[Microsoft 365 roadmap 573339](https://www.microsoft.com/microsoft-365/roadmap?id=573339) · Development · generally available · roadmap status "Launched", phase General Availability

## What Microsoft says

"Search objects installed in a connected Business Central environment, including owning-app metadata needed to add dependencies and download the correct symbols. Business value: Developers and coding agents can discover AL objects that are installed in the target Business Central environment even when the corresponding symbols haven't yet been downloaded into the workspace. This reduces failed searches and helps agents add the correct app dependency before generating code that uses an object."

## Dates

- General availability: October CY2026 (2026 release wave 2)
- Public preview: not given
- On the roadmap since 2026-09-30, last changed 2026-09-30
