# ADE Profiles

## What

The ADE (formerly known as DEP) Profile section allows us to create, edit and remove ADE (Apple Device Enrollment) profiles.

## When/Why

There are a lot of different reasons for creating and editing ADE profiles, but in general ADE profiles control device setup behavior for Apple devices. With these profiles we can control what dialogs users see during device setup, force devices to enroll in our MDM environment, and even control device naming. ADE profiles are a critical part of setting up automated device enrollment and setup.

<p class="callout info">Starting in FileWave 16.3.x, ADE profiles also support `do_not_use_profile_from_backup`, which lets a restored device ignore the ADE profile embedded in a backup and pull the current ADE assignment instead. FileWave 16.3.x also adds the **Age Based Safety Settings** skip key, while still keeping `AdditionalPrivacySettings` available because Apple's documentation is not yet fully consistent on whether the newer key fully replaces it.</p>

## How

The below is a quick run-through of creating (and editing) a new ADE Profile targeting AppleTV devices.
