# Creating a development space for your team

You are reading the **NextGen Documentation**

**NextGen widgets** are a new and improved way to display UGC content onsite. 

From September 23rd 2025, all new widgets created will be NextGen.

Please check your widget version on the **Widget List page** to see if it is a **Classic** or **NextGen** widget.

You can read the [Classic Widget Documentation](https://docs.nosto.com/ugc/guides/onsite-widgets) here.

**Note: This feature is unique to NextGen widgets**
{% endhint %}

While development of widgets in UGC Widgets 2.0 primarily took place in the browser, NextGen Widget development will primarily take place in the IDE.

As mentioned in the [architecture-of-widgets](https://docs.nosto.com/ugc/guides/widgets-nextgen/widget-creation-guides/creating-your-first-widget/creating-a-widget-from-blank-canvas-developer-guide/creating-a-new-widget/architecture-of-widgets "mention"), there are two repositories responsible for widget development.

While we encourage contribution to the widget-utils repository, the stackla-widget-templates repository is created for teams to [**Fork**](https://docs.github.com/en/pull-requests/collaborating-with-pull-requests/working-with-forks/fork-a-repo)**.** 

Forking allows engineers to utilise our widget templates repository in their own team setting, and allow widgets to be created without sharing them in the UGC repository.

This is the ideal way to encourage your developers to contribute in a [linted](https://eslint.org/), [typechecked](https://www.typescriptlang.org/) & [tested](https://www.cypress.io/) environment.
