Configure it

Set this at the top level of the configuration. With updateChecks: false, MLabel does not start the updater and the user cannot enable it through their own settings.

All downloadable examples in this cookbook use this policy. The application never fetches the $schema URL; an editor may fetch it while you author the file.

The relevant setting is in network. The download above includes the surrounding configuration.

{
  "updateChecks": false,
}

Try it and check the result

Load the configuration and open Settings → Version. Check now is unavailable, and Network is absent from the settings tabs.

That screen helps confirm the loaded policy. For deployment details and the distinction between configuration and personal preference, read Network policy.

Install future releases manually using files approved for your environment.
