## About Digital End-User Experience

-   Digital End-User Experience \(DEX\) detects and fixes potential technology issues before they affect you. Your IT team deploys DEX to monitor computers and applications.
-   DEX collects usage and performance data from endpoints. It uses metric rules to detect issues, remediate them automatically, and engage you proactively.
-   With the DEX Desktop Assistant, you can troubleshoot local applications, use Virtual Agent, run network tests, and contact IT support. Admins can send alerts to your Desktop Assistant.
-   DEX includes DEX Application and Device Health, DEX Content Playbook, and DEX Desktop Assistant. Application and Device Health provides end-to-end visibility into applications, networks, and devices, regardless of location.

## Version 5.3.0

This release includes updates to Digital End User Experience features and functionality.

### What's new

-   ****

    You can now use remedial actions to start or stop a Windows service, clear the system cache, and reset the print spooler.

-   ****

    You can now execute remedial actions from Flow designer. Each action runs only when the device is online and the action applies to it.

-   ****

    Metric rules and event rules are now rate limited per rule on the device. This helps prevent a single noisy rule from flooding the instance with alerts or events.


-   ****

    A new extension point for metric rule events gives you more control over how events are evaluated before alerts are triggered.


### What's changed

-   ****

    The Devices page now includes a link to DEX dashboard, so users with multiple roles can reach the DEX homepage faster.

-   ****

    The Diagnose view in Device Health Check now explains why a category shows a **Poor** or **Average** status with no pending actions. It tells users that their IT team is reviewing additional metrics.
