## Allow export of Recall and snapshot information
<!--9257953-->
The Recall export experience is available in preview to Copilot + PCs through the Windows Insiders Program. For more information, see [Announcing Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 26120.4441 (Beta Channel)](https://blogs.windows.com/windows-insider/2025/06/13/announcing-windows-11-insider-preview-build-26120-4441-beta-channel/).
In the European Economic Area (EEA), users can choose to [export their Recall snapshots](https://support.microsoft.com/topic/680bd134-4aaa-4bf5-8548-a8e2911c8069) if IT admins allow exporting. By default, exporting Recall and snapshot information is disabled for managed devices. Exporting allows users to share their Recall and snapshot information with third-party apps or websites that the user trusts. Exporting is optional, and users can review their snapshots at any time in Recall without needing to export. Exported information includes:
- Snapshots, including snapshots that the user or Recall saved
- Snapshot details, including information related to each snapshot such as the time and date it was saved along with associated information from opened apps
The user has the following two options for exporting Recall snapshots:
- **Export past snapshots**: A single export of all the user's Recall snapshots from the last 7 days, last 30 days, or all of their snapshots.
- **Export snapshots from now on**: Starts a continuous export of snapshots from the time the user turns on this setting until they turn it off or reset Recall. Users will be reminded every 30 days that continuous export is enabled.
The **Allow export of Recall and snapshot information** policy allows IT admins to determine whether users can export their own Recall and snapshot information. Exporting allows users to share their Recall and snapshot information with apps or websites. **Settings** > **Privacy & Security** > **Recall & Snapshots** > **Advanced Settings** > **Export snapshots** > **Export past snapshots** > **Export**.
Users can also choose to continuously export their snapshots if they turn on the option to **Export snapshots from now on** from **Settings** > **Privacy & Security** > **Recall & Snapshots** > **Advanced Settings** > **Export snapshots** > **Export**.
Before starting an export, the user must authenticate with Windows Hello and they're notified that their exported snapshots are encrypted since they might contain sensitive information. The user is also notified that they'll need to provide their Recall export code if they want to allow apps or websites access to exported snapshots. The Recall export code is displayed to users during Recall setup even if this policy is set to disabled or not configured. For managed devices:
- When you set this policy to enabled, users will be able to export their Recall snapshots
- If the policy is set to disabled or not configured, users won't be able to export their Recall snapshots.
> [!Important]
> - This setting applies to devices in the European Economic Area (EEA) only. Export of Recall snapshots is a user-initiated process and is per user. IT admins or other users can't initiate an export on behalf of another.
> - Changes to this policy take effect after device restart.
> - Developer documentation will be coming at a later date.

> Clients will be saved by Recall unless the client implements screen capture protection, for example [screen capture protection in Azure Virtual desktop](/azure/virtual-desktop/screen-capture-protection). Clients can control how screen capture protection is implemented and may allow some pages to be saved but not the remote session. Customers can always add filters for specific client apps. Check with the provider of your remote client software for details on their screen capture policy. For information about adding screen capture protection to a client, see the [Information for developers](#information-for-developers) section.
## Bring your own device (BYOD) considerations
For managed devices, IT admins have control over if they want to allow users access to Recall. It's removed by default unless IT sets the policy to enable Recall. When organizations allow users to BYOD, they need to consider the following:
