An introduction to HP apps

As you use an app to explore a lesson or solve a problem, you
add data and definitions in one or more of the app’s views. All
this information is automatically saved in the app. You can come
back to the app at any time and all the information is still there.
You can also save a version of the app with a name you give it
and then use the original app for another problem or purpose.
See “Creating an app” on page 107 for more information about
customizing and saving apps.
