 The source code of any extension can be altered by users with developer tools, potentially rendering the extension unfunctional. If this is a concern, configure the [DeveloperToolsAvailability](#developertoolsavailability) policy.
 
-Each list item of the policy is a string that contains an extension ID and, optionally, and an optional "update" URL separated by a semicolon (;). The extension ID is the 32-letter string found, for example, on edge://extensions when in Developer mode. If specified, the "update" URL should point to an Update Manifest XML document [https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2095043](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2095043). The update URL should use one of the following schemes: http, https or file. By default, the Microsoft Edge Add-ons website's update URL is used. The "update" URL set in this policy is only used for the initial installation; subsequent updates of the extension use the update URL in the extension's manifest. The update url for subsequent updates can be overridden using the ExtensionSettings policy, see [https://learn.microsoft.com/deployedge/microsoft-edge-manage-extensions-ref-guide.](/deployedge/microsoft-edge-manage-extensions-ref-guide)
