Policy overview
Key metadata and intent for this policy.
This policy can be used to restrict which Visual Studio product shows up on the Installer's Available Tab. For example, including Microsoft.VisualStudio.Product.Professional in the list will cause the Visual Studio Professional edition to be the only available option to install. This policy is only applied to client machines that have just the Visual Studio Installer installed. For more information, see https://aka.ms/vs/setup/policies.
