   Stand it up from scratch

   You have read the record and want Desktop App Update working in a real project rather than a sandbox.

   Review how this project uses Desktop App Update before I publish. Check simplified navigation and enhanced user focus, list anything that is missing, misconfigured, or only half wired, fix what is safe to fix, and tell me what you left alone and why.
