 ### Configure source location of updates
+
 If you're in an enterprise environment, then it's possible to configure the location that your client instances look for updates. This is useful in situations where your client installed from a network layout, but you later want the clients to get updates from a different network layout. The ability to configure update locations requires the presence of the newer Visual Studio 2022 installer, which can be obtained by [acquiring the latest installer on the client machine](#use-the-latest-and-greatest-installer), or by an administrator [pushing the latest installer out through a network layout](create-a-network-installation-of-visual-studio.md#ensure-your-layout-is-using-the-latest-installer). For more information about how to use this feature, refer to the [Visual Studio 2022 documentation on configuring source location of updates](/visualstudio/install/update-visual-studio?view=vs-2022&preserve-view=true#configure-source-location-of-updates-1).

 ### Configure source location of updates
+
 With Visual Studio 2022, you can now configure where your clients will get their updates from. These update source locations are called *channels*, and you can find more information about channel purpose and availability in the [Visual Studio Release Rhythm](/visualstudio/productinfo/release-rhythm) documentation. Microsoft makes both the Current and the Preview channels available to everyone, and the [long term servicing channels (LTSCs) are available to Enterprise and Professional customers for about 18 months](/visualstudio/productinfo/vs-servicing#long-term-servicing-channel-ltsc-support). IT Administrators can also configure the update source locations, such as network layouts, that the clients should have access to. Refer to the [Visual Studio Administrators Guide](https://aka.ms/vs/admin/guide) for additional approach recommendations, and to the [modifySettings command documentation](/visualstudio/install/use-command-line-parameters-to-install-visual-studio#modifysettings-command-and-command-line-parameters) for how to access this functionality programmatically.
