We're excited to announce a new feature for Chrome Web Store developers: the ability to cancel a review! You can now stop the review process for an item that's pending review.
The goal of this feature is to let you manage your extensions more easily and efficiently. When you identify errors in your pending review submission, you can now quickly cancel the review, make necessary changes, and resubmit the new item revision without unnecessary delays. We're really happy to finally launch this feature that many of you have requested.
How to cancel a review?
To immediately cancel a pending review submission, open the ⋮ View more menu options on the Store listing page, then click Cancel review. This lets you submit a new revision with a fix without waiting for the current submission with bugs to complete the review process.
A confirmation dialog appears when you request to cancel a review. Click the Cancel review button to confirm. The submission will be canceled and returned to a draft state.
The cancel review feature is now live. For more information, refer to the cancel review documentation. The Chrome Web Store team is excited to continue enhancing the extension publishing and updating process for you.
