CSP distributors, direct bill partners, indirect resellers

Starting July 28, 2026, Microsoft is modernizing the Microsoft AI Cloud Partner Program and Cloud Solution Provider verification user experience in Partner Center to streamline how partners navigate verification.

The updated experience introduces clearer communications and a streamlined workflow that reduces ambiguity during verification. Partners benefit from real-time, inline validation to help prevent common submission errors.

The experience has a new look and feel, and is more consistent for partners who enter the verification flow. There's no immediate action required, as partners experience these changes naturally within the flow.
