# App Builder privacy and data subject request (DSR) FAQ
15
+
16
+
App Builder is a Microsoft 365 Copilot agent that helps users create apps using natural language. This FAQ explains how App Builder works, how it handles data, and what controls are available to users and administrators.
17
+
18
+
## What is App Builder?
19
+
20
+
App Builder is a Copilot agent that enables users to create interactive reports, data visualizations, and personal and team productivity tools by describing their needs using natural language. It generates apps with data stored in Lists in a SharePoint Site associated with the app and displays them directly in the Microsoft 365 Copilot experience.
21
+
22
+
## How are apps stored, exported, or deleted?
23
+
24
+
Apps created with App Builder are stored in a specific Power Platform environment designated for these apps for the tenant. These apps are visible within the App Builder agent interface in Microsoft 365 Copilot, but the environment is hidden from all but tenant admins.
25
+
26
+
Users can delete apps within the App Builder interface. Apps are subject to Microsoft’s Data Subject Request (DSR) processes.
27
+
28
+

31
+
32
+
33
+
## Is conversation history stored or exportable?
34
+
35
+
Yes, conversations with App Builder are retained in the Microsoft 365 conversation history.
36
+
37
+
To learn more about how Microsoft 365 Copilot handles data, see [Data, Privacy, and Security for Microsoft 365 Copilot](microsoft-365-copilot-privacy.md).
38
+
39
+
40
+
## How is App Builder managed by administrators?
41
+
42
+
Administrators can manage App Builder in the Microsoft 365 admin center under **Copilot > Agents**. Available controls include:
43
+
44
+
- Enable or disable the agent
45
+
- Assign, block, or remove access
46
+
- Control visibility using **Allow users access to agents**
47
+
48
+
App Builder respects tenant-level settings configured in the Microsoft 365 admin center and Power Platform Admin Center. These settings determine:
49
+
50
+
- Whether App Builder is enabled
51
+
- Whether feedback collection is allowed
52
+
- Whether analytics and telemetry are collected
53
+
- Which Copilot features are available to users
54
+
55
+
To learn more about managing Copilot agents and tenant settings, see [Manage Copilot Agents](/microsoft-365/admin/manage/manage-copilot-agents-integrated-apps?view=o365-worldwide&preserve-view=true).
56
+
57
+
## Where is the data for App Builder apps stored?
58
+
59
+
App Builder saves data either in the app or in SharePoint lists. You manage those lists in the app’s SharePoint site, which you can administer from the SharePoint admin center. The site behaves like any site you create directly in SharePoint. For more information, see [Manage sites in the SharePoint admin center](/sharepoint/manage-sites-in-new-admin-center).
60
+
61
+
62
+
## What connectors are supported?
63
+
64
+
App Builder currently supports the SharePoint connector.
65
+
66
+
## How is user feedback handled and controlled?
67
+
68
+
Users can submit thumbs-up or thumbs-down ratings and optional comments.
69
+
Here are some important points about feedback collection. Feedback data:
70
+
71
+
- Isn't used to train foundation models
72
+
- Can be enabled or disabled by administrators at the tenant level
73
+
74
+
User feedback is managed alongside other Microsoft Copilot user feedback, see more:

+
79
+
80
+
## Can usage be audited?
81
+
82
+
Yes. Organizations can use Microsoft 365 audit logs and Power Platform analytics to monitor usage of App Builder.

### User-installed agents

Users can install agents that are available in Agent Store based on the policies set by their tenant administrators. Users can also install their own custom-built agents. For example, these custom-built agents could be built with Agent Builder, SharePoint or Microsoft Copilot Studio, to augment Microsoft 365 Copilot. These agents are used by individuals, and optionally shareable within the user’s organization.

Users can install agents that are available in Agent Store based on the policies set by their tenant administrators. Users can also install their own custom-built agents. For example, these custom-built agents could be built with Microsoft SharePoint, Microsoft Copilot Studio (lite), or Microsoft Copilot Studio (full), to augment Microsoft 365 Copilot. These agents are used by individuals, and optionally shareable within the user’s organization.
55
55
56
56
Organizations can govern these agents in the Copilot Control System section of the Microsoft 365 admin center. Administrators have a full set of lifecycle management tools for these agents. Microsoft offers granular controls that enable administrators to install and block agents. Additionally, administrators can remove shared and custom agents for some or all of the users in their tenant.
