Enables background updates to the list of available templates for Collections and other features that use templates (deprecated)

DEPRECATED: This policy is deprecated. It is currently supported but will become obsolete in a future release.

Supported versions

  • On Windows and macOS since 79 or later

Description

This policy is deprecated because we are moving to a new policy. It won't work in Microsoft Edge as soon as version 104. The new policy to use is EdgeAssetDeliveryServiceEnabled.

Lets you enable or disable background updates to the list of available templates for Collections and other features that use templates. Templates are used to extract rich metadata from a webpage when the page is saved to a collection.

If you enable this setting or the setting is unconfigured, the list of available templates will be downloaded in the background from a Microsoft service every 24 hours.

If you disable this setting the list of available templates will be downloaded on demand. This type of download might result in small performance penalties for Collections and other features.
