+
+### Handlers
+Configure default application handlers. This policy is based on the internal format of `handlers.json`.
+
+You can configure handlers based on a mime type (`mimeTypes`), a file's extension (`extensions`), or a protocol (`schemes`).
+
+Within each handler type, you specify the given mimeType/extension/scheme as a key and use the following subkeys to describe how it is handled.
+
+| Name | Description |
+| --- | --- |
+| `action`| Can be either `saveToDisk`, `useHelperApp`, `useSystemDefault`.
+| `ask` | If `true`, the user is asked if what they want to do with the file. If `false`, the action is taken without user intervention.
+| `handlers` | An array of handlers with the first one being the default. If you don't want to have a default handler, use an empty object for the first handler. Choose between path or uriTemplate.
+| `name` | The display name of the handler (might not be used).
+| `path`| The native path to the executable to be used.
+| `uriTemplate`| A url to a web based application handler. The URL must be https and contain a %s to be used for substitution.
