Creating a Mini-app from a template

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

This will create a new tile in the Mini-apps tab and a new folder in the Files tab named after the new Mini-app. To customise your Mini-app, edit files in this folder, and then refresh your Mini-app.
