Every field: check, fix, controls, registry, payloads, Intune and DISA's checklist. Untick an item, then Rebuild or export; the page starts from the owner's decisions, so an item marked not applying starts unticked. One section is drawn at a time; what you untick in one is kept when you open another, and every export covers the whole profile.
