 ## Environment Variables
 
-- `COREPACK_ENABLE_NETWORK` can be set to `0` to prevent Corepack from accessing the network (in which case you'll be responsible for hydrating the package manager versions that will be required for the projects you'll run, using `corepack hydrate`).
-
 - `COREPACK_DEFAULT_TO_LATEST` can be set to `0` in order to instruct Corepack
   not to lookup on the remote registry for the latest version of the selected
   package manager.
 
+- `COREPACK_ENABLE_NETWORK` can be set to `0` to prevent Corepack from accessing
+  the network (in which case you'll be responsible for hydrating the package
+  manager versions that will be required for the projects you'll run, using
+  `corepack hydrate`).
+
+- `COREPACK_ENABLE_STRICT` can be set to `0` to prevent Corepack from checking
+  if the package manager corresponds to the one defined for the current project.
+
 - `COREPACK_HOME` can be set in order to define where Corepack should install
   the package managers. By default it is set to `%LOCALAPPDATA%\node\corepack`
   on Windows, and to `$HOME/.cache/node/corepack` everywhere else.
