[PSADT] Use code snippets

Code snippets are small blocks of reusable code. Save your often used code to a snippet and insert it where and as many times as you need. You can use code snippets to save any piece of code of any size. You can configure Package Wrapper to use either your personal or team’s code snippets.

Important

Precondition: Open the PSAppDeployToolkit package in Packag Wrapper (see Open PSAppDeployToolkit).
