How to re-enable a ChromeOS device?

Problem

You need to re-enable or find a lost device.

Make sure you have an available upgrade for the user before you re-enroll the device.

If you didn’t factory reset the device during deprovisioning, wipe it. See Wipe a Chromebook.
Manually enroll the device. See Enroll ChromeOS devices.

If you get back a repaired device or accidentally deprovision one, you can re-enroll it for another user that’s eligible.
