## How It works
Fleet follows Apple’s supported migration flow for Automated Device Enrollment (ADE). Devices re-enroll automatically, preserving user data and managed apps when possible. Migration deadlines, user notifications, and “await configuration” states are all handled in accordance with Apple's best practices.

### Profile & policy replication
- Export `.mobileconfig` profiles from Jamf and re-apply them in Fleet.
- Translate smart groups into Fleet labels.
- Replace extension attributes with Fleet queries, labels, or policies.
- Map Jamf policies to Fleet policies with automated remediation scripts or package installs.
Configuration profiles exported from Jamf can be re-applied in Fleet. Smart groups become labels, and extension attributes are replaced with queries, labels, or policies. Jamf policies map directly to Fleet policies using automated remediation scripts or package installs.
### Software deployment, simplified
- Sync your Apple VPP apps directly into Fleet.
- Upload and scope custom macOS packages with labels.
- Preserve license continuity and ensure VPP token migration within Apple’s 30-day window.

### Security & compliance first
- FileVault recovery keys are automatically escrowed to Fleet at migration.
- New Activation Lock and security controls are applied automatically during enrollment.
- Continuous inventory and compliance monitoring.
