Does changing the account linking page after certification have to go through the certification process ?

Hello Everyone ,

I will be publishing a skill soon for my company. My question is lets say after my skill is certified will i have to recertify my skill if i need to change my account linking settings in the developer portal(Lets say client ID/ client secret for example gets compromised or something) . Also , what changes EXACTLY would trigger a recertification . Also , lets say i make some changes and while that is being recertified will it be the current version that is live until it is recertified. Any help / inputs is appreciated . Thanks!

Anything that you change in the developer console has to go through certification. It includes changing account linking information, description, interaction model, basically everything that you see in the developer console.

If you put your skill up for certification, you cannot do any changes until your skill passes or fails certification. You can withdraw your skill from certification early and do your changes, but this will stop the certification process.

The only thing that can be changed without requiring certification is backend code, everything else, has to be certified.

Thanks @RokasV . Also, I had another doubt . Can we fix on a date when we publish the skill out . Like can we get the skill certified and then publish it at our will(our choice of date) or once it gets certified it automatically gets published ?

It will go live almost instantly when it passes certification. There is a popular feature request here, that should let you to decide when to make your skill go live, but it is still not available. I suggest you to upvote it.

Yes, you'll need to recertify, because you provide client secret in the developer console.

@RokasV Sorry for the questions , One last question. Lets say after my skill is certified i change a value in the developer console . While the skill is being recertified what will happen to the current state of the skill , will it be down ? Or will it have the values in play before recertification is approved ?
