## Testing
- [x] QA'd all new/changed functionality manually
Closes https://github.com/fleetdm/confidential/issues/12068
I shortened and sharpened up the Series B article by cutting about a
third of the length while keeping the narrative intact. I also updated
the meta description to be clearer and more concise.
Added reference to FDA requirement along with links to enable FDA and a
pre-created mobileconfig per discussion in product office hours
(9/16/25). ~Josh 🖖🏻

for more information.
- [ ] Input data is properly validated, `SELECT *` is avoided, SQL
injection is prevented (using placeholders for values in statements)
- [ ] If paths of existing endpoints are modified without backwards
compatibility, checked the frontend/CLI for any necessary changes
## Testing
- [ ] Added/updated automated tests
- [ ] Where appropriate, [automated tests simulate multiple hosts and
test for host
isolation](https://github.com/fleetdm/fleet/blob/main/docs/Contributing/reference/patterns-backend.md#unit-testing)
(updates to one hosts's records do not affect another)
- [ ] QA'd all new/changed functionality manually
For unreleased bug fixes in a release candidate, one of:
- [ ] Confirmed that the fix is not expected to adversely impact load
test results
- [ ] Alerted the release DRI if additional load testing is needed
## Database migrations
- [ ] Checked table schema to confirm autoupdate
- [ ] Checked schema for all modified table for columns that will
auto-update timestamps during migration.
- [ ] Confirmed that updating the timestamps is acceptable, and will not
cause unwanted side effects.
- [ ] Ensured the correct collation is explicitly set for character
columns (`COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci`).

supplied in a YAML file (or that it is documented as being optional)
- [ ] Verified that any relevant UI is disabled when GitOps mode is
enabled
## fleetd/orbit/Fleet Desktop
- [ ] Verified compatibility with the latest released version of Fleet
(see [Must
rule](https://github.com/fleetdm/fleet/blob/main/docs/Contributing/workflows/fleetd-development-and-release-strategy.md))
- [ ] If the change applies to only one platform, confirmed that
`runtime.GOOS` is used as needed to isolate changes
- [ ] Verified that fleetd runs on macOS, Linux and Windows

Trying to get lines 12 and 13 to appear on their own lines, instead of
as a continuation of the previous paragraph as show in the screen shot.
For bonus points, putting each value in step 11 on its own line for
clarity.

- Simplify top section
- Added explanation on what enroll means for different platforms and how
to unenroll different platforms + callout that unenroll feature for
personal (BYOD) iOS/iPadOS and Android is coming soon.
- Fleet says "enroll secret"
- Move "Supported osquery version" to "Advanced"
- Add link to enroll hosts guide
- Document best practice migration
- Removed section about user sync from Microsoft to Google, and section
about Google Workspace authentication
Expanded group assignment for the conditional access policy. To help
admins understand that if they want to properly enforce access for
certain applications, they need to scope the broadest group possible for
their application. This will make sure that any devices not managed by
Fleet will be prompted to enroll in Fleet and be marked as compliant
before access is granted.
- Document order of what happens and when during new Mac setup
- Add anchor links to sections
