## FAQs

1\) How long does it take for the app to appear?

It may take a few hours for the policy changes to propagate to all assigned users.

2\) What if the app is not visible?

·       Ensure the app is published in the Manage apps section.

·       Verify that the setup policy is correctly assigned to the user or group.

·       Get users to signout of teams and sign back in

3\) Can I enforce app usage?

Pre-installation does not enforce usage, but pinning the app ensures high visibility.
