# Reusable Settings

Lists the reusable settings configured in the selected tenant. A reusable setting holds a value once, such as a certificate authority or a trusted root certificate, so that many configuration policies can reference it instead of each carrying its own copy. Changing the reusable setting updates every policy that references it. Microsoft's own overview is at [reusable settings groups](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/intune/intune-service/protect/reusable-settings-groups).

## Action Buttons

<details>

<summary>Deploy Reusable Settings</summary>

Opens a drawer that creates a reusable setting in one or more tenants from a saved template.

| Field                               | Description                                                                                 |
| ----------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Select Tenants                      | The tenants to deploy to. Several can be selected, and the same setting is created in each. |
| Choose a Reusable Settings Template | The template to deploy, chosen from those saved in Reusable Settings Templates.             |
| Raw JSON                            | The template's configuration, shown for review before deploying.                            |

The configuration is also rendered below the field so it can be read without working through the JSON.

{% hint style="info" %}
Deploying does not create duplicates. CIPP looks for a setting in the target tenant whose name matches the template's, and where one is found it compares the two: an identical setting is reported as already compliant and left alone, and a differing one is updated in place. A new setting is only created where no match exists.
{% endhint %}

</details>

{% hint style="info" %}
Reusable settings templates can also be applied through the Reusable Settings Template standard, which keeps them in place across tenants rather than deploying them once. See [Available Standards](/user-documentation/tenant/standards/alignment/templates/available-standards.md).
{% endhint %}

## Table Details

The properties returned are for the Graph resource type `deviceManagementReusablePolicySetting`. For more information on the properties please see the [Graph documentation](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/resources/intune-deviceconfigv2-devicemanagementreusablepolicysetting?view=graph-rest-beta#properties).

{% hint style="info" %}
A Referencing Configuration Policy Count column is available from the column chooser, showing how many configuration policies use each setting. It is worth checking before deleting one or changing its configuration.
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.cipp.app/user-documentation/endpoint/mem/reusable-settings.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
