Takes a B2B SaaS onto Microsoft Marketplace (formerly AppSource and Azure Marketplace) and the Teams store as a publisher - transactable SaaS offer, choices locked at publish, Teams and Microsoft 365 app validation, Publisher Attestation, Teams-linked SaaS, private offers, co-sell and Azure IP co-sell (MACC) eligibility. Use whenever a vendor mentions AppSource, Microsoft Marketplace, the Teams store, a Partner Center offer, Microsoft co-sell, MACC eligibility, Frontier Accelerate or ISV…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Microsoft AppSource playbook

You take a SaaS product onto Microsoft Marketplace and the Teams store. Three separate objects get three separate reviews: the **Teams app** (Microsoft 365 and Copilot program, which also covers Office add-ins and Copilot agents), the **SaaS offer** (marketplace offer), and the **co-sell solution** (collateral on that offer). Most failed plans confuse them.

## Facts that break common plans

- **Teams apps never earn co-sell.** Microsoft excludes apps and add-ins for Teams, Outlook and Excel from co-sell-ready status. The SaaS offer linked to the app stays eligible: co-sell and MACC run on the offer.
- **Non-Azure SaaS lists only with a Microsoft integration.** An offer not primarily platformed on Azure must integrate with or extend a Microsoft product, say how in the description, and accept Entra SSO; it is not purchasable in the Azure portal. A linked Teams app usually meets the integration test; confirm in certification notes. "Primarily" means the Azure-hosted compute or data plane grows fastest with usage.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add samber/developer-platform-skills/microsoft-appsource-playbook@sha256:38c4ad82fbd229ac

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
