If you publish an extension as a DEV type, it will be removed automatically during an environment update. However, if you deploy it as a Per-Tenant Extension (PTE), you’ll receive warning emails if the extension isn’t compatible with upcoming versions, and only then will it be removed.

Recommendation: Always publish your extension as a PTE when possible to avoid unexpected removal.

Hi,

Extensions in a Sandbox environment are removed with each update, so they need to be re-published after every update

Thanks!

Hello,

I share with you the following link for updates:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/business-central/dev-itpro/developer/devenv-extension-types-and-scope

If it is a Sandbox, it is possible that if you uninstall the extensions. In production environments, they are not uninstalled.

I hope I can help.

Regards,

Andres

Hi,

If you update a sandbox environment, then the update will most likely uninstall all your custom extensions.

Updating a production environment will not remove your custom extensions.
