May 1, 2025May 2025 Fleet documentation improvements: consolidated four docs updates into a single initiative across deployment, OS updates, API config, and macOS setup to improve developer onboarding and deployment reliability. Key fixes included a grammar correction in deploying-entra-platform-sso-with-fleet.md, a broken link to Apple's Software Lookup Service in enforce-os-updates.md, and clarified API docs showing that additional_queries maps to SQL. Added an example for enable_release_device_manually in macos_setup to illustrate manual device release workflow. Implemented via four focused commits, enhancing docs quality, API clarity, and handoff between developers and operators.
