This is a situation we have to avoid - this is the main reason we don't turn on packages automatically:
A player who doesn't own many HL packages emails their character to the GM for approval - the GM owns more packages, opens the character, edits it a little, and sends it back - HL can't automatically turn on all the packages the GM owns, or the GM might accidentally add a feat or item that the player doesn't have the package for - the player would get errors when they opened the portfolio once it was sent back.
As a note, if you're careful with how you set up your defaults, you can avoid the problem Dami is describing in the OP - if your default profile has those sources turned off, and you open the portfolio, it will see there's a source in the portfolio it doesn't have a record of (because that portfolio didn't exist back when the portfolio was last saved), and it will look at the defaults to see what to do with that source. You can also relatively quickly enable/disable a set of sources for a set of characters by setting up the right defaults on the first one, and then just doing "use defaults" on the rest - it'll cut down on the clicks required to fix this up, since you won't need to find each book on each character.
Also, if you need different defaults in different situations, you can use Tools...Duplicate Game System - each copy maintains its own defaults.
