What's new 
I’m setting up iOS devices in Hexnode and noticed the term “Pre-Approved Device.” What exactly does this mean? Also, if the device is already in Apple Business Manager, how do I enroll it into Hexnode?

Hello @ryanmoore ,
A pre-approved device in Hexnode UEM is a device whose identifiers, such as the serial number or IMEI, have been imported into the Hexnode UEM portal before the device is enrolled.
For iOS devices that are part of Apple Business, enrollment happens through Automated Device Enrollment, formerly known as DEP. Once the Apple Business device is synced with Hexnode and the device goes through activation after a factory reset, it can automatically enroll into Hexnode UEM during the setup process.
