Hi there! 👋

Storybook 9 is coming soon with significant changes to the package structure that will affect most addons. The main change is the consolidation of Storybook packages into a single storybook package, which will simplify addon development and maintenance.

What's changing?

The key changes that affect addon authors are:

1. All core Storybook APIs are now available through the main storybook package
2. Import paths have been updated (e.g., storybook/manager-api instead of @storybook/manager-api)
3. TypeScript 4.9+ is now required

What do you need to do?

1. Review the community addon outreach document
2. Update your addon's dependencies:

{
  "peerDependencies": {
    "storybook": "^9.0.0"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "storybook": "^9.0.0"
  }
}

3. Test your addon with the prerelease version:

npm install --save-dev storybook@next
