@ -110,32 +110,3 @@ During the broad deployment phase, you should focus on the following activities:
- Deploy to all devices in the organization.
- Work through any final unusual issues that weren't detected in your Limited ring.
## Ring deployment planning
Previously, we have provided methods for analyzing your deployments, but these have been standalone tools to assess, manage and execute deployments. In other words, you would generate an analysis, make a deployment strategy, and then move to your console for implementation, repeating these steps for each deployment. We've combined many of these tasks, and more, into a single interface with Desktop Analytics.
[Desktop Analytics](/mem/configmgr/desktop-analytics/overview) is a cloud-based service and a key tool in [Configuration Manager](/mem/configmgr/core/understand/microsoft-endpoint-manager-faq). Using artificial intelligence and machine learning, Desktop Analytics is a powerful tool to give you insights and intelligence to
make informed decisions about the readiness of your Windows devices.
In Windows client deployments, we have seen compatibility issues on < 0.5% of apps when using Desktop Analytics. Using Desktop Analytics with Configuration Manager can help you assess app compatibility with the latest
feature update. You can create groups that represent the broadest number of hardware and software configurations on the smallest set of devices across your organization. In addition, Desktop Analytics can provide you with a device and software inventory and identify issues, giving you data that equate to actionable decisions.
> [!IMPORTANT]
> Desktop Analytics does not support preview (Windows Insider) builds; use Configuration Manager to deploy to your Preview ring. As noted previously, the Preview ring is a small group of devices represents your ecosystem very well in terms of app, driver, and hardware diversity.
### Deployment plan options
There are two ways to implement a ring deployment plan, depending on how you manage your devices:
- If you're using Configuration Manager: Desktop Analytics provides end-to-end deployment plan integration so that you can also kick off phased deployments within a ring. Learn more about [deployment plans in Desktop Analytics](/mem/configmgr/desktop-analytics/about-deployment-plans).
- If you're using Microsoft Intune, see [Create deployment plans directly in Intune](/mem/intune/fundamentals/planning-guide).
