   You can edit the profile at anytime. Changes for users are effective when a user downloads the updated profile.

The profile is now available for users to download using the user portal. If the profile is assigned to a managed device, the device is sent a push notification from Profile Manager to download and install the updated profile. To see whether a device has checked in and received the updated profile, view the Profile Manager activity in the sidebar.
