Thanks a lot, Thomas!
For me this come just a t the right time, as I have to look into S/4HANA Extensibility soon - good thing I can do this using the newest whitepaper now!
A small peace of feedback (which I might have given in the past already, not entirely sure about it) and wish for improvement:
When using the download link (at the bottom of the page), the filename is kind of cryptic: 2ad59b27-347c-0010-82c7-eda71af511fa.pdf
It would be nice if it could be something more telling, like "S4HANA Extensibility Whitepaper 09_2018 Update.pdf" instead!

So Thomas, does this mean that "Managed Extensibility" has been removed to the roadmap now ? And if yes, any alternative is provided for partner add-ons or that option is now excluded from the future roadmap ?
“Managed Extensibility” has been removed already in the previous (2016) version of the whte paper. For partners, refer to Chapter 4. Unfortunately, as stated in the document, a fixed road map for the feature mentioned therein is not yet available.
As I'm going through it, here's another piece of feedback:
I guess the 2nd occurrence of "Explicit enhancement options" is meant to say "implicit enhancement options" instead, right?! (Otherwise, why wouldn’t they be mentioned at all?)

Hi Joachim,
I am not the owner of the document, but I agree that this must be a typo.

Hi Thomas,
got it, but maybe you can forward my feedback (also the one with the filename) to the owner!?
Or let me know the (user) name, the I can @-Mention her or him directly?!
I got another one here:
On page 31, there are some links-
On is titled
"ABAP extensibility community on SAP Community"
and links to
https://www.sap.com/community/topic/abap-extensibility.html
However, this is redirected to a generic
https://www.sap.com/community/topics.html
thanks

Hi Joachim,
I try to identify the owner and forward the feedback.

Why is SAP CP Rapid Application Development by Mendix not mentioned as an option to develop side-by-side extensions?

Hi Thomas,
I see the white paper mentions Node Extensibility as in the Roadmap.
Is there a target release for this feature ?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Helder, there is no target release yet. Best regards, Thomas
All, do you know about the SAP S/4HANA Cloud Extensibility Explorer yet? https://extensibilityexplorer.cfapps.eu10.hana.ondemand.com/ExtensibilityExplorer/
Dear Thomas,
are there plans for an update of the White Paper? With the closer integration of SAP Cloud Application Programming Model (CAP) and SAP Cloud SDK I think an update would make sense.
Best regards
