Design Concept
Instead of pre-defined layouts, the new design concept provides a home screen based on widgets—which present a concise dashboard of data, along with images and buttons. It also offers better navigation options (with a navigation bar), a scrollable home screen, and more.
Requirements
Existing businesses can request to migrate their apps if they don’t require a capabilitity that isn’t yet supported (see below). A new gen app requires dedicated Hub configurations and submitting it to the app stores as a new gen app.

The following widgets, screens and button actions are currently supported for React apps.
