New Device Page in Intune Admin Center (Public Preview)

Microsoft has redesigned the individual device view in the Intune admin center. It is currently available as a public preview and worth enabling in your tenant today.

What changed

The existing device page is a collection of left-nav sections you jump between. The new design consolidates everything into a single full-page layout with tabs. Less clicking around, more context in one place.

The four tabs cover what you actually need during daily device work:

Device action status shows pending, running, and recently completed actions. Searchable and filterable, so you stop asking “did that wipe actually run?”.

Tools and reports replaces the old Overview tab. Compliance status, configuration status, and remediation tools are now grouped here instead of scattered across the admin center.

Properties gives you a clean editing view for admin-modifiable fields, with scope tags visible without digging.

Device details replaces the Hardware tab. Physical specs and key Entra/Intune management info live here.

The Essentials section sits at the top and is accessible regardless of which tab you are on. One less reason to switch tabs just to check a basic device attribute.

How to enable it

Go to Devices > All Devices and flip the Preview new device view toggle to On. That is all. No policy, no rollout, no tenant-wide setting.

One limitation worth knowing

The new view only activates when you navigate to a device through Devices > All Devices. If you open a device from a report, a compliance policy, or anywhere else in the admin center, you still get the old layout. Even with the toggle on.

This is a preview constraint, but it means your muscle memory will get mixed signals until the new view becomes the default.

When to use it

Enable it now in any tenant where you do regular device management work. The new layout is strictly better for day-to-day operations: fewer clicks, faster access to actions and tools, and a cleaner audit trail for device actions.

Recommendation

Enable the preview. It does not change any functionality, only the layout. The action history tab alone saves time during troubleshooting or incident response. Get familiar with it before it becomes the default.

Operational depth for New Device Page in Intune Admin Center Public Preview

New Device Page in Intune Admin Center Public Preview is most useful when it is connected to a concrete Microsoft admin workflow. The important angle is the redesigned device blade, troubleshooting view, admin navigation, preview behavior and support workflow: administrators need to know which tenant setting, rollout phase or support process changes after the feature is enabled. The relevant context includes Intune admin center, device inventory, troubleshooting, preview rollout, endpoint operations, because those details decide whether the change is a quick improvement or a source of tickets.

Before using this Nugget in production, capture the current tenant state and write down the intended outcome. For New Device Page in Intune Admin Center Public Preview, that means checking the affected users, devices, policies, assignments or cloud resources before making the change broadly available. A small validation group gives the team a clean comparison point and makes later troubleshooting much faster.

The follow-up work for New Device Page in Intune Admin Center Public Preview should include documentation, ownership and a rollback path. Add the decision to the admin runbook, note any license or platform dependency, and make sure the helpdesk can recognize the expected behavior. This keeps the Microsoft update aligned with operational reality instead of leaving it as an isolated announcement.

For long-term value, review New Device Page in Intune Admin Center Public Preview again after the next service update or tenant-wide rollout. Microsoft cloud features change quickly, and the first implementation is rarely the final operating model. Rechecking the configuration, user impact and reporting signal keeps the Nugget useful beyond the first read.
