PatchBee docs
Deploying many apps at once
Setting up a new fleet usually means deploying a dozen apps, not one. Multi-select in the App Library sends you through a review page, so deploying many apps stays a considered action rather than an accident.
Select and review
- In App Library, tick the checkbox on each app you want. A bar appears at the bottom with Review and deploy N apps; Clear empties the selection.
- Select Review and deploy. The review page lists every chosen app with its platform, version and installer.
- Open Edit plan on any row to expand that app's full package plan inline and adjust it, exactly as on the single-app plan page. Remove takes an app out of the batch (it asks first).
- Pick the Intune tenant and set assignments for the batch: the same group picker as the single-app wizard, with Required or Available intent and include or exclude filters.
- Select Deploy. PatchBee creates one packaging job per app; watch them all under Jobs.
Example: a new-starter baseline in one pass
Tick Google Chrome, 7-Zip, Notepad++, Zoom and VLC in the App Library, then Review and deploy 5 apps. On the review page, assign the batch to the New starters Entra group as Required, glance over each plan (the defaults are usually right), and deploy. Five jobs run in parallel; a few minutes later the whole baseline is published, assigned, and tracked for updates.
When to use App Sets instead
Multi-select is for a one-off batch. If you deploy the same bundle repeatedly, across customers or tenants, define it once as an App Set (MSP feature) and deploy the set; see the app sets guide.
