“Compare the effective profile with release compatibility and upgrade a representative client using a supported path” addresses profile support depends on both the EMS configuration and the endpoint client version.

“Create an appropriately scoped exception profile that retains baseline endpoint protection” addresses exception handling should preserve required controls and limit only the specific affected setting.
