Set the preview audience for an Azure Container offer

  • Article

This article describes how to configure a preview audience for an Azure Container offer in the commercial marketplace using Partner Center. The preview audience can review your offer before it goes live.

Define a preview audience

On the Preview audience page, define a limited audience who can review your Container offer before you publish it live to the broader marketplace audience. You define the preview audience using Azure subscription IDs, along with an optional description for each. Neither of these fields can be seen by customers. You can find your Azure subscription ID on the Subscriptions page on the Azure portal.

Add at least one Azure subscription ID, either individually (up to 10) or by uploading a CSV file (up to 100) to define who can preview your offer. If your offer is already live, you can still define a preview audience for testing updates to your offer.

Add email addresses manually

  1. On the Preview audience page, add a single Azure subscription ID and an optional description in the boxes provided.
  2. To add another email address, select the Add ID (Max 10) link.
  3. Select Save draft before continuing to the next tab to set up plans.

Add email addresses using a CSV file

  1. On the Preview audience page, select the Export Audience (csv) link.
  2. Open the CSV file. In the Id column, enter the Azure subscription IDs you want to add to the preview audience.
  3. In the Description column, you have the option to add a description for each entry.
  4. In the Type column, add SubscriptionId to each row that has an ID.
  5. Save the file as a CSV file.
  6. On the Preview audience page, select the Import Audience (csv) link.
  7. In the Confirm dialog box, select Yes, then upload the CSV file.
  8. Select Save draft before continuing to the next tab to set up plans.

Important

After you view your offer in Preview, you must select Go live to publish your offer to the public.
