Welcome
Guides for the Intune Documentation desktop app: document your Microsoft Intune configuration on your own machine, find any setting, and hand compliance evidence to your auditor.
The Intune Documentation desktop app turns your Microsoft Intune configuration into documents people can actually read. It runs on your own Windows or macOS computer, signs in with your own app registration, and reads your tenant straight from Microsoft. Your configuration never passes through our servers.
It only reads. It never changes anything in your tenant.
What you can do with it
- Document everything. Export your policies, settings, assignments, scripts and baselines as a PDF report or a Word document you can edit.
- Find any setting. Search settings shows every policy that configures a setting, with its value, platform and assignment.
- Hand evidence to your auditor. Compliance evidence reports map your configuration to frameworks such as NIS2, ISO/IEC 27001, SOC 2, NIST and BSI IT-Grundschutz.
- Report to management. The one-page management report shows how many safeguards are in place, and how that changes month by month.
- Work across tenants. On the MSP plan, one license covers every customer tenant. See Work with multiple tenants.
- Keep data on your machine. Collection runs locally and talks to Microsoft directly. After a license check, the app keeps working for 14 days without reaching our licensing service. See Security and privacy.

Looking for the free web app?
Intune Documentation also has a free web app at intunedocumentation.com. It creates the same PDF and Word documentation in your browser, with our app registration and without installing anything.
