A new template editor has been added which is accessible via the context menu on the top right hand corner of the Create page. It allows you to load a template from a local directory, edit it with a preview, execute it in dry-run mode, and view the results. Note that the File System Access API must be supported by your browser for this to be available.

To support the new template editor the ScaffolderApi now has an optional dryRun method, which is implemented by the default ScaffolderClient.
