+
+### How MDM Blueprints Work 
+
+Blueprints include essential settings for inventory collection and interval of collection, as well as connect settings for `FileVault`, `Recovery password`, and `Software Update Enforcement`, which are assigned to a device. They are typically assigned during enrollment, with the option to be modified later.
+
+- **Single assignment**: A device can only be assigned to one blueprint at a time to prevent conflicts.
+- **Default enrollment**: Blueprints are typically set initially as the default assignment during Automated Device Enrollment (ADE) when devices are enrolled via Apple Business Manager (ABM) for automatic application of settings. The blueprint can be changed as needed.
+- **Transitioning**: When a device is switched from one blueprint to another, the new blueprint’s configurations are applied, and any previous settings not included are removed.
+- **Inventory collection**: Inventory data is collected at specified intervals, managed through the MDM protocol. The information is stored and updated as part of a device’s inventory records. The interval can range from a minimum of 4 hours to a maximum of 7 days, with a default of 1 day.
+
+- **Artifacts**: Configuration profiles, Enterprise Apps, and VPP Apps are considered artifacts. When assigned to a Blueprint, they are listed with details such as type, version, platforms, exclusion tags, default shard, and tag shards. Clicking on an artifact allows you to view and edit its details.
+
+- **Enrollment info**: Displays the connected Automated Device Enrollment (DEP) or Over-The-Air (OTA) enrollment configurations. You can click the link to view detailed enrollment information.
