Device Experience Configuration
Use the device experience configuration to customize device look and feel and allowed apps.
This configuration can be set at the organization, site, or group level. If a device experience configuration exists at multiple levels, devices will use the configuration at the lowest hierarchical level they belong to (group > site > org). If a device belongs to multiple groups, it will use the configuration that was most recently applied. For more information, see The Liminal EMM Hierarchy.
The apps shown on the preview device are only placeholders. To manage apps on the device, see App Management Articles.
