What it does

Specifies how a device is enrolled in Edge Preview. This policy is only effective if the TargetChannel policy is set to Beta or Dev. If you set this policy to Allow Opt-out (1) or don't configure it, the channel in the Edge Stable application will be determined by TargetChannel. End users will be able to exit the Edge Preview experience, to return to the Stable channel, at any time. If you set this policy to Required (3), the channel within the Edge Stable application is determined by TargetChannel. End users won't be able to leave the Edge Preview experience. This policy is available on Microsoft Edge version 143.0.3650.66 or later, and applies only to Windows devices joined to a Microsoft® Active Directory® domain. For more details, see: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2348937.

The OMA-URI is an inferred ADMX-backed Policy CSP candidate derived from the source ADMX file name and policy name.
Some Microsoft policies use built-in Policy CSP pages whose area names don't match the ADMX file name, so verify the candidate against Microsoft Learn before deployment.
