## Custom scripts (Mods feature)
From version 1.8.0, the Mods feature allows you to run additional scripts when upgrading or installing an app.
-Just put the scripts in question with the **AppID** followed by the `-preinstall`, `-upgrade`, `-install` or `-installed` suffix in the **mods** folder.
-> Runs before upgrade/install: `AppID-preinstall.ps1`
-> Runs during upgrade/install (before install check): `AppID-upgrade.ps1`/`AppID-install.ps1`

+Just put the scripts in question with the **AppID** followed by the `-preinstall`, `-upgrade`, `-install` or `-installed` suffix in the **mods** folder.
-The **-install** mod will be used for upgrades too if **-upgrade** doesn't exist (**WAU** first tries `& $Winget upgrade --id` and if the app isn't detected after that `& $Winget install --id` is tried).
-`AppID-install.ps1` is recommended because it's used in **both** scenarios.

-In an enterprise environment it's crucial that different groups can have different settings in applications etc. or to implement other mandatory settings, i.e for security/management reasons.
-**WAU** doesn't have any setting that can be changed except for when installing (or editing the registry/the task `Winget-AutoUpdate` as **Admin**).
-With the use of **ADML/ADMX** files you can manage every **WAU** setting from within **GPO**.
-They will be detected/evaluated during the next run of **WAU** (taking effect before any actions).
