# Edge devices

Use the MK.IO portal to onboard an edge device, inspect fleet status and device locations, open a remote device UI, update software, and collect recovery or support data. The **Edge** section provides a unified device list and a map of registered device locations.

## Device lifecycle

Use the [Fleet API Guides](https://docs.mediakind.com/api-guides/how-to/fleets) for device management, backups and restores, and software update automation.
