Winget questions in Intune
In MEM, if I add an app using the new store, search results only show packages in the msstore source. Will the winget source be added, or will winget source apps be added to msstore? I could push a simple script with a winget install command, then use a Winget auto-Update, but it's neat to be able to search and find apps in MEM then deploy.

I made a tool to significantly reduce app packaging time, please enjoy it
I'm currently using Winget AutoUpdate (https://github.com/Romanitho/Winget-AutoUpdate) - Can I continue to use Winget AutoUpdate to update Winget deployed apps, and use your tool to deploy the apps? Presumably if so, I would need to ensure I don't choose 'AutoUpdate' when deploying them from Intunepckgr?
