Summary 💡

Currently, in our docs we have instructions to start a fresh Toolpad app. We should also have a dedicated page to show how Toolpad can be used in a existing project. Eg: A next.js app

When including Toolpad into an existing next.js app, is it still necessary to build, before it is possible to use the pages, which have been created/edited in Toolpad?
