@roblourens Can you please verify this?

It should show Install Pre-Release action always for GitHub Copilot Extension even if the latest version is not a pre-release version.

I don't know whether it's working as expected. I tried this

• Publish roblourens.robtestext3 as pre-release with version 3.1
• Publish it as stable with version 3.2
• In Insiders, I don't see anything about pre-release and it wants to install stable:

Is this about something else?

[roblourens]

I think the copilot scenario is about pulling in an extension from an extension pack, I guess I didn't do that here, but let me know which scenario should change.

@roblourens I think you'd need to add your test extension to the extensionsEnabledWithPreRelease array in the marketplace control file for this to work.
