 # How to check the trustworthiness of a WinGet Configuration file
 
 Prior to running a WinGet Configuration file, it is recommended to review and evaluate each resource listed in the file, ensuring that you are fully aware of what is being installed, changed, or applied to your operating system, and that it is coming from a credible and secure source.

 ## File format
 
-Windows Package Manager uses manifests (YAML files) to locate and install packages for Windows users. WinGet Configuration files use the same YAML style format, adding a JSON schema specification to help define the structure and validation of the file. To further assist in detecting whether the format of your WinGet Configuration file is valid, we recomend using [Visual Studio Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/download) with the [YAML extension](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=redhat.vscode-yaml) by RedHat to support proper syntax, help detect any formatting errors, provide hover support and auto-completion (when linked to the JSON schema file), and ensure valid formatting.
