Creating a Shiny App from a template

To create a new Shiny App, select the 'New Shiny App' option from the Apps dropdown menu. Give it a name, choose the Shiny App template (see the list below) and the R image version, then click on 'Create Shiny App'.

This will create a new tile on the Shiny Apps tab and a new folder in the Files tab named after the new Shiny App. To customise your Shiny App, edit the files in this folder, and then refresh your Shiny App.
