A published web app is based on a scene authored with Scene Viewer or ArcGIS Pro. Any changes the author makes to the scene, including its extent, layers, description, and so on, are reflected in the web app. If a scene that was available to everyone in the organization is made private (or deleted), the scene no longer appears in the app.
