Description

The update operation enables and disables access to Esri-provided content containing external URLs that reference sites and resources hosted outside of the organization. If external content is disabled, Esri content containing external URLs will be removed from the organization and will not be discoverable. This extends to any external content that would typically be included when enabling new languages for your organization; that is, when access to external content is disabled, all external content included with any added languages is also disabled.

If you enable external content, Esri content containing external URLs is added to the organization and is discoverable. By default, external content is enabled. This extends to any external content included when enabling new languages for the organization, enabling access to external content included with added languages.
