# Configure Default Settings for a Packaged External Client App

External client apps include default values when packaged for distribution. These values show up in the policies tab on a distributed external client app and are edited by admins. If a developer configures custom values in the Settings tab of an external client app before packaging, those configurations don't affect the packaged policies. To change the policies values that are packaged with the app, configure the settings in the Package Default tab.
