- Introduction
  BigFix UI is a unified interface that consolidates multiple BigFix capabilities into one modern application. It provides IT operations and security teams with a centralized workspace to manage endpoints, remediate vulnerabilities, and generate reports.
- Getting Started
  The Getting Started section introduces key features that help users begin working with the BigFix UI. It provides a foundation for understanding how to access the system securely, navigate common features, and apply guided recommendations to improve efficiency and compliance.
  - Access and security
    Learn how to securely sign in to and out of the BigFix UI application, change your password, update your profile, review your account activity, and set your language and theme.
  - Navigating BigFix UI
    BigFix UI gives every app and page its own web address. As a result, you can move around with your browser's Back and Forward buttons, refresh a page without losing your place, and bookmark or share a link that reopens the exact page you were viewing.
  - Common Functionalities
    Familiarize yourself with the functionalities that are available across modules. These features work the same way in the BigFix UI applications, such as Devices, Fixlets, Deployments, and CyberFOCUS, so you learn them once and apply them everywhere.
  - Notification Center
    The Notification Center is a central place to view, filter, and manage the real-time notifications that BigFix UI raises about your work across the application. You open it from the bell icon in the upper-right corner of the screen.
- Using BigFix UI
