4. On the **Enable Intune Standalone Mode** screen, check the **Enable Microsoft Intune standalone mode** checkbox only if you are going to use Publisher to publish applications and updates in Intune only, then click **Next**.

**Note**

Intune standalone mode removes some Publisher tabs used specifically for publishing applications and updates to ConfigMgr and WSUS. These tabs can be re-enabled retrospectively after installation from the **Advanced** tab in Publisher.
