+# Policy CSP - ADMX_WindowsPackageManager
+>[!TIP]
+> These are ADMX-backed policies and require a special SyncML format to enable or disable. For details, see [Understanding ADMX-backed policies](./understanding-admx-backed-policies.md).
+>
+> You must specify the data type in the SyncML as <Format>chr</Format>. For an example SyncML, refer to [Enabling a policy](./understanding-admx-backed-policies.md#enabling-a-policy).
+>
+> The payload of the SyncML must be XML-encoded; for this XML encoding, there are a variety of online encoders that you can use. To avoid encoding the payload, you can use CDATA if your MDM supports it. For more information, see [CDATA Sections](http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#sec-cdata-sect).

+If you do not configure this setting, users will be able to add or remove additional sources other than those configured by policy.
+
+If you enable this setting, only the sources specified can be added or removed from Windows Package Manager. The representation for each allowed source can be obtained from installed sources using [*winget source export*](/windows/package-manager/winget/).
+
+If you disable this setting, no additional sources can be configured by the user for Windows Package Manager.
