FAQPage Schema
How do I manage VS Code configuration policies across an enterprise environment?

You can manage VS Code configuration policies by defining and modifying `policy:` fields within configuration properties. This approach supports integration with enterprise management systems and OS-level policies like Windows GPO and macOS managed preferences for centralized administration.

How do I add a new policy field to an existing VS Code configuration?

To add a new policy field, you register it within the configuration properties using the defined `IPolicyData` interface. This requires adhering to specific file structures and executing generation scripts to update the policy catalog and create platform-specific artifacts for Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Does VS Code policy management support macOS managed preferences and Linux configurations?

Yes, VS Code policy management supports generating platform-specific artifacts for macOS managed preferences, Windows GPO, and Linux config files. It handles the generation scripts needed to deploy these OS-level policies effectively across different operating systems.

Can I apply account-based policy overrides for VS Code settings?

Account-based policies are supported through the `IPolicyData` interface, allowing certain VS Code configurations to be controlled via account data. This enables more granular, user-specific overrides on top of the broader enterprise management policies.

How do I review pull requests that change VS Code configuration policies?

Reviewing pull requests with VS Code policy changes involves checking the modified `policy:` fields and ensuring adherence to the required file structures. The process validates that policy catalog updates and platform artifact generation scripts are correctly executed before merging.
