  • The point-in-time restore team would love to hear from you! If you could take a few minutes to share your thoughts, it would mean a lot.

    1. What concerns, if any, do you have about end users using point-in-time restore?
    2. Do you have any concerns about an authenticated IT admin remotely performing a restore from a registered management plane?
    3. Are there certain types of information you would need surfaced in MDM to feel confident point-in-time restore is behaving as intended?
    4. Are there any parts of the remote management experience displayed in the demo that could confuse admins or end users?
    5. Should multi-admin approval be required for a remote restore?

      A - Yes, a second admin must approval all restores

      B - Multi‑admin approval should be required only for high‑risk scenarios (e.g., executives, sensitive devices, large‑scale restores)

      C - No, a single authorized admin should be able to initiate the restore

      D - Approval requirements should be configurable by policy (varies by device/user group)

      E - Not sure / depends on the scenario
