+== Bonita UI Builder
+
+
+Bonita UI Builder is a development environment made for designing all kind of interfaces, pages, forms, for your applications. 
+It brings a host of advanced features and improved usability, designed to help you create even more compelling and user-friendly interfaces: 
+
+* A set of more than 45 widgets
+* A wide gallery template
+* Code completion, custom JS code
+* Native debugging option
+* A restriction-free drag & drop interface
+* Import and export JSON options
+* React interfaces
+* ...and many more
+
+Bonita UI Builder is an application-centric development environment that allows for designing forms and application pages, without distinction. You can now design fully-fledged applications, embedding dashboards and complex interfaces. Or, you can just design single-page applications. The choice is up to you. 
+
+With Bonita UI Builder, you can still manage your workflows, continuous integration, etc., the way you’re managing them now. 
+
+
+== Applications
+
+Applications are created and operated within Bonita Platform, created with Bonita Studio and Bonita UI Builder, deployed with Bonita Continuous Delivery, run by Bonita Runtime. 
+
+They are a navigation of pages that can be accessed by a xref:identity:profiles-overview.adoc[Profile]. They aim to display and structure the right information and provide the right controls at the right time to the profiles, so they can efficiently perform their tasks. Once pushed to production, Applications cannot be live edited.
+
+Bonita also comes with four xref:runtime:bonita-applications-interface-overview.adoc[Bonita Applications].
+
+“Applications” are very similar to “Living Applications”, which are created with Bonita UI Designer and will be phased out. Once pushed to production, Applications cannot be live edited

+= Living Applications with Bonita UID
+:description: This page explains what a Living Application is, what it is made of, and how you can create your own applications.
+
+{description}
+
+[NOTE]
+====
+Starting from 2024.3 version, Bonita UI Builder is the only standard for designing all your applications. It brings a host of advanced features and improved usability, designed to help you create even more compelling and user-friendly interfaces. Bonita UI Builder is an application-centric development environment that allows for designing interfaces, forms and application pages, without distinction.
+
+During the transition, you can continue using Bonita UI Designer while exploring Bonita UI Builder. Eventually, Bonita UI Designer will be phased out, but we will provide support and resources to ensure a smooth transition. Check our xref:applications:bonita-ui-builder.adoc[documentation] to learn more and start creating applications with Bonita UI Builder.
+====
+
+
+A Living Application is a navigation of pages that can be accessed by a xref:identity:profiles-overview.adoc[Profile]. +
+It is created and operated within Bonita Platform: created with Bonita Studio and UI Designer, deployed with Bonita Continuous Delivery, run by Bonita Runtime.
+
+Its purpose is to display and structure the right information and provide the right controls at the right time to the profiles, so they can efficiently perform their tasks. +
+
+_Graphically_, an application is made of a navigation menu and a set of pages. In some of the pages, some controls, like -"Validate" or "Reject" buttons- are directly linked to processes and execute tasks in the background. Others -like "New request" or "Add additional information"- open forms that, once submitted start a new process instance, or execute a task. +
+Bonita allows you to create xref:ROOT:bonita-purpose.adoc#_what_can_i_do_with_bonita[different types of applications]. +
+
+_Structurally_, an application is made of various xref:ROOT:project-structure.adoc[elements]. Some are directly linked to the application (name, token, navigation), others are referenced (layout, pages, profiles, theme). They are all assembled in the application descriptor. +
+
+Bonita comes with four xref:ROOT:bonita-applications-interface-overview.adoc[Bonita Applications]. +
+
+We encourage our users to create their own *custom applications* so as to create the best user experience for their specific use-cases. +
+The application can be put together by the citizen developer or a professional developer. +
+You just need to make sure that all the elements have been developed before you can use them in the application descriptor. +
+For testing purposes, Bonita provides a layout and several themes, before you create your own.

+
+Starting the development of an application from scratch may not be the most efficient way to go. If your project implies:
+
+* That a user picks tasks in a tasklist made of all processes, you may want to try and use or customize our *Bonita User Application*
+* That an administrator-like user monitors the health of process execution and fixes the potential errors, you may want to try and use or customize our *Bonita Administrator Application*
+* Specific pages showing specific business data, you may want to *borrow a project created by a Community member and customize it*
+* Adaptive Case Management, with non-sequential parts in the processes to let the knowledge workers' expertise decide which tasks to do and which ones to skip for a dedicated case, you may check our *ACM example*
