For example, you can set up a deployment ring of early adopters, control which OS version they install, and when they will install it.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also create a universal browser policy to keep Google Chrome up to date for macOS, Windows, and Linux. This universal browser patch policy works for all OS types, and remotely schedules and enforces Google Chrome updates on all devices. This policy saves you time and helps you keep a large number of devices compliant and up to date.
