# Builder 2.0 Is Now the Default When Creating a New Microapp

## Every microapp is built in either Builder 1.0 or Builder 2.0. New microapps use Builder 2.0 unless you choose otherwise, and Builder 1.0 is still available whenever you need it. This article explains how the choice works, what happens to existing microapps, and how to decide.

| **Recently Updated:** Builder 2.0 is now the default when you create a new microapp. Builder 1.0 is still available in the creation dialog. |

### **How the Builder Is Chosen**

| **When You** | **The Microapp Opens In** |
| --- | --- |
| **Create a new microapp** | Builder 2.0, unless you select Builder 1.0 before you confirm. |
| **Open an existing microapp** | The builder it was created in. Existing microapps are never moved automatically. |
| **Duplicate a microapp** | The same builder as the original. |
| **Create from a template** | The same builder as the template. |

### **Creating a Builder 1.0 microapp**

1\. **Select the + button** — in the Tiled Hub to open the Create Microapp dialog.

2\. **Select Builder 1.0.** — Builder 2.0 is selected by default.

3\. **Finish creating the microapp** — as usual. It opens in Builder 1.0.

| **Pro Tip:** Duplicating an existing Builder 1.0 microapp is another quick way to start a new one in Builder 1.0, with its layout already in place. |

### **Why Builder 2.0 Is the Default**

Builder 2.0 covers most Builder 1.0 workflows, and new features are built for it. These are available only in Builder 2.0:

| **Feature** | **What It Does** |
| --- | --- |
| **Brand Kit** | Puts your brand’s colors, fonts, logos, and voice right in the Builder. |
| **Components** | Ready-made, reusable parts such as Top Nav and Left Nav bars. |
| **Multi-edit on tile groups** | Edit the properties of every tile in a group at once. |
| **Color Theme popover** | Switch color themes and add colors without leaving the canvas. |
| **Click event popover** | One consistent way to set what happens when a tile is clicked, including hotspots. |

| **Note:** Adaptive formats, personalization, and plugin syncing work in both builders. In Builder 2.0 you add a format with Add; in Builder 1.0, with Create Size. |

### **If Your Team Uses Builder 1.0**

Builder 1.0 is still fully supported, and there’s no planned date to retire it. Keep selecting it when you create microapps if a workflow depends on it. New features are focused on Builder 2.0, so it’s worth checking whether that workflow now works there.

| **Heads Up:** Before moving a workflow to Builder 2.0, build one test microapp and check every feature you rely on. Existing Builder 1.0 microapps stay in Builder 1.0, so there’s no risk to your current work. |

### **Tips for teams**

• **Update onboarding** — new team members will start in Builder 2.0, so point training and internal guides to Builder 2.0 articles.

• **Check your templates** — microapps created from a template or a duplicate keep its builder. A Builder 1.0 template still creates Builder 1.0 microapps.

• **Agree on a default** — if your team standardizes on one builder, say so in your guidelines so everyone makes the same choice in the creation dialog.

| **Try It Yourself:** Create a Builder 2.0 test microapp, sync or copy in two pages from an existing Builder 1.0 microapp, and rebuild their interactions. It’s the fastest way to see what changes for your team. |

### **Common Questions**

| **Question** | **Answer** |
| --- | --- |
| **Will my existing microapps move to Builder 2.0?** | No. Existing microapps stay in the builder they were created in. |
| **Can I still create a Builder 1.0 microapp?** | Yes. Select Builder 1.0 in the Create Microapp dialog before you confirm, or duplicate an existing Builder 1.0 microapp. |
| **My new microapp opened in Builder 2.0. Is that right?** | Yes. Builder 2.0 is selected by default. To work in Builder 1.0, create a new microapp and select Builder 1.0, or duplicate a Builder 1.0 microapp. |
| **Is Builder 1.0 going away?** | There’s no planned date to retire it. New features are focused on Builder 2.0. |
| **Which builder should I use?** | Builder 2.0, unless you rely on something that only works in Builder 1.0. If you’re not sure, ask your Library Admin or contact Tiled Support at support@tiled.co. |
