# Accelerated app creation and improved app insights

Hey all! Coming back at you with improvements to creating an app from the Partner Dashboard! We’re removing the need for you to enter in any kind of URL when you’re manually creating an app from the UI. Instead, we’ll generate placeholders for you in the **App setup** area. You can update these URLs when you're ready to test or distribute your app.

We’ve also added a new **Insights** section to the app navigation, so you can discover everything from app history to API health without having to hunt around!
