- Microsoft Business Central environments are updated with two major updates each year, in April and October, and minor updates are rolled out monthly.
- Minor updates typically address critical service improvements, application and platform changes, and regulatory requirements.
- Major updates include changes to core applications, new features, and extensions, and are gradually made available for existing environments over several days and weeks.

- The responsibilities of a Microsoft partner during an upgrade include testing extensions created by the development team and understanding their involvement in the upgrade process.
- The client system admin should monitor updates, set up update windows, plan the upgrade of customizations and per-tenant extensions, and monitor new features that may make existing features obsolete.
- Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) are responsible for upgrading their extensions and may require additional time to prepare for a major update.
- Microsoft partners typically manage major upgrades during new implementations, including Per-Tenant-Extensions (PTE) and AppSource apps procured by the partner.
