  2. Please import my home screen layout from Pixel Launcher.

    Instead of having to organize my app shortcuts all over again, Microsoft Launcher should duplicate the layout I already put effort into making.

  7. Can I transfer everything from standard launcher to preview

    My screens are set up perfectly and I have a lot of icons...it would take hours to replicate on a preview/potentially unstable release..
    I tried restoring a backup but it restored to blank.

  8. Implement home screen backup

    The old Microsoft launcher had homescreen backup. This was one of the most useful features to not have to rearrange home screen over and over.

  12. It would be nice if it imported settings from the existing MS launcher app, or from a recent backup (backups not implemented yet?)

  13. Restore settings from the current Microsoft Launcher.

    There is no backup/restore at the moment.
    Is this planned? At the moment the setup is too Google centric.

  14. I need the ability to restore my icons before i can start testing it. Cheers

    I don't want to recreate all my icons and icon folders to start testing. When I can restore I will use this product until then I will continue to use the existing Microsoft launcher

  18. home screen undo/recover

    In the Home Screen panel mode (I.e., showing all screens) there needs to be an Undo should you mistakenly delete a screen - which I have done several times.

    if accidental delete of a home screen, and you don't have an up to the minute backup, you loose.
