BBuilt-in Style Guide: Uses Built-in style guide from Outsystems UI. Minor customizations to the Base Theme should be done inside the App Theme.
C, Build Your Own: Use when custom style guide cannot benefit from any existing theme. Just like Clone a Built In scenario, clone both Custom Theme and Custom Template from the Base Theme and Base Template, however clone the Base Theme from Outsystems UI.

DSince the theme is very basic, front-end developer will have to expand and design the theme from there.

B) is definitely a common one, everyone uses the built-in style guide!

Wait, are we sure E) is a common scenario? Sounds a bit niche to me.

I think D) is also a bit off, modifying a built-in style guide is pretty standard.

Haha, I bet the front-end developer is just itching to get their hands on that "very basic" theme.

I remember discussing the Built-in Style Guide and how it allows for minor customizations. I think that makes it a common scenario, but I’m not entirely sure about E.

I’m a bit confused about A and D. They both mention creating a custom theme, but I can't recall which one is actually NOT a common scenario.

I practiced a similar question where we had to identify which scenarios were valid. I feel like D might not fit the common style guide scenarios.

I think I remember that "Clone a Built-in" is about making extensive changes, but I'm not sure if that's the same as "Build Your Own."
