    So I learning to use Windows System Image Manager for creating answer files for automatic Windows deployments.

    I'm sure I followed all the right pre-steps for Windows SIM:
    ---Install latest version of ADK (using a Win10 Pro for this); though only checked "Deployment Tools" for install and unchecked everything else
    ---Download Windows ISO from MS official website
    ---Take the "install.esd" and convert it to "install.wim" via PowerShell commands (followed another guide for this)
    ---Open Windows SIM and create new catalog file by selecting the "install.wim" for this
    ---Finally create a new answer file

    After filling the basic stuff in the Windows PE phase and some other in the Specialize one, I wanted to try inserting some Sync commands and driver paths, but all options within the "Insert" menu are all grayed out, only exception the Packages option.

    Why is this? Can someone help?

    Thanks.
