Resubmitting updated versions

We're about to post our first version of our new widget (yeahhhh!!!)

We have many features to add down the road, but we want to just get into the approval process. Once we are approved by Yahoo, we're going to start building version 2.0.

What is the process for updating our widget? Is it another 12 week waiting period for approval on an update, or does it go any faster? Do you have to send the update to each OEM for approval?

    Here's a good overview of the QA process with links to the online documentation:

    Thanks Kelly, but I think you didn't understand my question. We are going to release a widget next week. Let's assume it's bug free and goes live in 3 weeks. Great. Six weeks later, we want to add another feature to our live, approved widget. I don't see anything in your link that refers to an update. What if we want to add another feature? Do we start over again with the entire process? Do the OEM's have to approve the update to our widget? Does the process take the same amount of time, even if we're just making a minor update?

    Each update is handled on a case by case basis. Truly minor updates usually go through QA faster.
