+# Security and Compliance Admin Area settings **(ULTIMATE SELF)**
+
+The settings for package metadata synchronization are located in the [Admin Area](index.md).
+
+## Choose package registry metadata to sync
+
+WARNING:
+The full package metadata sync can add up to 30 GB to the PostgreSQL database. Ensure you have provisioned enough disk space for the database before enabling this feature.
+We are actively working on reducing this data size in [epic 10415](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/10415).
+
+To choose the packages you want to synchronize with the GitLab License Database for [License Compliance](../../compliance/license_scanning_of_cyclonedx_files/index.md):
+
+1. On the top bar, select **Main menu > Admin**.
+1. On the left sidebar, select **Settings > Security and Compliance**.
+1. Expand **License Compliance**.
+1. Select or clear checkboxes for the package registries that you want to sync.
+1. Select **Save changes**.
