## Adding the automatic configuration registry key
For custom graphics and branding, add the `FEATURE\AUTOCONFIG\BRANDING` registry key to your IE installation package.
**Important**
Follow these directions carefully because serious problems can occur if you update your registry incorrectly. For added protection, back up your registry so you can restore it if a problem occurs.

## What is Automatic Version Synchronization?
Automatic Version Synchronization (AVS) lets you use the Internet Explorer Administration Kit 11 (IEAK 11) to synchronize the IE11 setup files on a local computer with the latest setup files on the web.
-You must synchronize the setup files at least once on the local computer, for each language and operating system combination, before proceeding through the rest of the wizard. If your packages have more than one version of IE, you need to keep the versions in separate component download folders, which can be pointed to from the **File Locations** page of the IEAK 11. For more information about using the AVS feature, see [Automatic Version Synchronization: Internet Explorer Customization Wizard](http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?linkid=327744).
