 # What’s New in Onboarding for Individual Developers
 
+Individual developers can now use the new onboarding flow to publish apps to the Microsoft Store without paying any onboarding fees – making Microsoft the first global digital storefront to eliminate such charges.
+
+We’re progressively rolling out the new onboarding flow, starting with the India market. This page will be updated as we expand to more markets.
