-Policies can either be specified using the Group Policy templates or by creating a file called policies.json. On Windows, create a directory called distribution where the EXE is located and place the file there. On Mac, the file goes into Firefox.app/Content/Resources/distribution.
+**These policies are in active development and so might contain changes that do not work with current versions of Firefox.**
-The content of the JSON file should look like this:
-```
-{
- "policies": {
- ...POLICIES...
- }
-}
-```
-Policies are documented below.
+**You should use the [officially released versions](https://github.com/mozilla/policy-templates/releases) if you are deploying changes.**
