What is the App menu option?

What technically does the install page as app do?

    Installing a page as an app, allows you to launch the website as an action from your start menu, without much of the browsers user interface. Thank you for the question daviderskine.

      Elliot Kirk When installing this app - Microsoft Tech Coimmunity - from Edge Dev, I noticed no navigation, like back arrow, which makes using the "app" cumbersome.

      Elliot Kirk thanks but I was hoping for something a bit more technical.

      Like what parts are made into the PWA?

      As you move through pages does it store more?
