I have a question about developing in Astra - the docs are a little short on information here. My question is: what is the difference between building an app and building a portal?

Hi Nick, Great question! When you first create the portal zone this is giving you the space on your navigation that is for Admin reference only. Then you are creating an app within this portal zone - this is ultimately what people are logging in to access the App in the Portal. When in the portal you have other options that you do not have within your Internal workspace an the login flow is different. There is a video at the bottom of this page that I try explain this a bit more.
