Additional Information

In ArcGIS Pro 3.4, a change is made to support the future integration of the new metadata editor. This change impacts the ability to load custom metadata editor add-ins. Add-ins built using the previously available ArcGIS Pro Metadata Toolkit successfully extend ArcGIS Pro 3.0 until 3.3. This release of the ArcGIS Pro Metadata Toolkit supports ArcGIS Pro 3.4 and later versions. It is necessary to use separate add-ins for ArcGIS Pro 3.0 until 3.3 and for ArcGIS Pro 3.4 and later. The version of the Visual Studio extension for ArcGIS Pro 3.4 and later is available from Visual Studio Marketplace. The Visual Studio extensions are also available to download from the ArcGIS Metadata Toolkit GitHub repository from the assets associated with the ArcGIS Pro 3.3 and 3.4 releases.
