After you've used Microsoft Launcher for some time, you'll figure out the settings and layout you like. You can back up these settings onto the cloud to save you time when you set up a new device or want to revert to a previous layout. Microsoft Launcher backs up your settings, icon layout, wallpaper, and more.
