How can components be assigned to or removed from endpoints in Sophos Central?

The correct approach to assigning or removing components in Sophos Central is through the selection of the endpoint or endpoints and managing the software settings directly from the management console. This method allows administrators to effectively control the deployment of specific components, software updates, or features to the endpoints they wish to target.

By using the management interface, users can initiate various actions such as adding software components, configuring policies, or removing existing components tailored to the needs of their organization. This structured process ensures that changes are applied in a centralized manner, maintaining consistency and reducing the chance of errors that might occur if handled individually at each device level.

The other methods mentioned do not provide the same level of control or efficiency. Unlinking endpoints would sever the connection and could lead to a loss of management capabilities rather than simply changing components. Resetting endpoints generally refers to restoring them to default factory settings, which is not a practical solution for just altering components. Using batch commands might suggest a more technical script-based approach, which, while viable in certain scenarios, isn't the primary or most user-friendly method provided in the Sophos Central interface for component management.
