This week, we're excited to start rolling out a new private enterprise
publishing option on the Chrome Web Store. Previously, enterprise developers
could only publish extensions privately to
[their own enterprise](https://developer.chrome.com/docs/webstore/cws-enterprise.md.txt#domain-publishing). With the new option, developers
will be able to deploy their extensions privately to external organizations that
approve them, all from within the store.

## Enable the new option

On the Account page, developers will now see an "Organization publishing"
section. Click "Generate approval link" to enable the new option.

You will be given an approval link that can be used by any organization
administrator to approve you. Send the link to your administrator contact using
your preferred communication channel.

## Get approved by an organization administrator

When visiting your approval link, your administrator contact will be shown
various details about your publisher account. This includes your publisher's
name, contact email, and trader declaration.
[Verifying your contact email](https://developer.chrome.com/docs/webstore/set-up-account.md.txt#verify-contact-email), completing [trader
verification](https://developer.chrome.com/docs/webstore/program-policies/trader-verification-faq), and gaining the
[publisher badge](https://developer.chrome.com/docs/webstore/discovery.md.txt#publisher-badge) will ensure your approval page has as
much information as possible.

## Publish privately

Once an administrator has approved you, you can start publishing privately to
their organization. The new publishing option can be selected from the
Distribution page.

After selecting the new option, submit your item as you normally would. The item
will go through the standard review process. Once published, the item will only
be visible to your selected organization.

Note that individual extensions are still managed by administrators using
[existing item-level controls](https://developer.chrome.com/docs/webstore/cws-enterprise.md.txt#manage-domain-extensions). After publishing,
ensure that your administrator contact has appropriately set these controls for
your extension.

## Share feedback

More information about this feature can be found
[in our enterprise docs](https://developer.chrome.com/docs/webstore/cws-enterprise.md.txt). As always, we'd love to hear what you
think. Share your feedback in the [chromium-extensions](https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/g/chromium-extensions) mailing
