Description

I can successfully submit a new version of my msix via msstore publish abc.msix -v -id abc, however this results in the submission being submitted directly. I want to change the changelog first, so i added -nc to keep it a draft, but this results in the .msix not being uploaded. I saw a similar issue here https://github.com/microsoft/msstore-cli/issues/50#issuecomment-2195277801, but there isn't an answer on what i should do to achieve this.

Research direction

Start with the msstore publish command and compare the behavior of -v -id abc with -nc; review the guidance in issue #50 linked from this report. Done means an .msix is uploaded while the submission remains a draft so its changelog can be edited before publishing.
