# App Builder Overview

## Overview

The App Builder is a Python® development environment that allows users to create, edit, and release [Playbook Apps](/v1/docs/parts-of-a-playbook) directly in ThreatConnect®. It includes development environment “basics” like debugging, the ability to view build logs, version control, autocomplete, and release management, as well as unique features specific to ThreatConnect. It provides common snippets of code (including the ability for users to create their own snippets), as well as easy management of input and output variables. Its integrated debugger includes automatic creation of a test Playbook and a live-debugging process. Its version control system allows commenting on commits and reversion to prior versions. The App Builder can also be used to view and modify code in existing Apps and import third-party App libraries.

WarningApp Builder debug mode should be used only in non-production ThreatConnect instances.
