If a user creates and shares a macro at the app level, then:

It is moved to the user's local search folder.
It remains in the user's local app folder, but others can now access it.
It is moved to the default search folder.
It is moved to the local search folder.

The correct answer is: It is moved to the local search folder.

When a user creates and shares a macro at the app level, the behavior of the macro aligns with specific functionalities inherent to Splunk's architecture. By sharing the macro at the app level, it allows the macro to be accessible and usable by other users who have access to that specific app. In Splunk, when an object like a macro is created, it initially resides in a user's private space or local app folder. However, sharing it at the app level means it's designated for broader access, and as such, it is relocated to the local search folder. This transition ensures that the macro is stored in a location that is correctly indexed for public use, while still being part of the app's configuration files. The local search folder is essential for ensuring that all users within the app can utilize the shared macro, making it an invaluable feature for enhancing collaboration and efficiency among team members working within the same application in Splunk. This process allows for consistent functionality across different user sessions.
