Dynamics 365 Business Central: important changes in PTE management.
The Business Central Admin Center is gaining new PTE management capabilities, allowing administrators to upload, schedule installation, and uninstall per-tenant extensions directly. Starting in version 30 (2027 wave 1), the Extension Management page will no longer support PTE installation and will be limited to viewing only.
