Intune Redesigned Device View Essentials

Question

Hi team

The old Intune device management screen required constantly clicking back and forth through left-hand blades to check a machine's compliance, hardware, and active errors. The redesigned full-page layout groups this data into unified tabs. What critical operational information is permanently pinned inside the new "Essentials" section, and how does it reduce context switching

Thanks

Hi Patel Vihaan,

The "Essentials" section in the Intune device overview page serves as a fixed, top-level dashboard that remains pinned regardless of your navigation within the device blade's sub-tabs. This section provides a centralized view of vital telemetry including the device name, managed-by status, operating system version, serial number, Intune Management Extension state, last check-in timestamp, and current compliance status. By anchoring this high-level data, the interface effectively eliminates the need to navigate between screens, allowing you to maintain visibility over foundational device health while simultaneously inspecting deep-dive logs or policy configuration statuses. This design is intended to reduce administrative latency and improve your ability to audit endpoint configurations efficiently within the Microsoft Intune admin center.
