When creating a theme using bootstrap and concrete, is it necessary to include a dedicated version of bootstrap with your theme, or is it better to utilize the core version?

If I recall, in previous versions of C5, bootstrap included to the core was scoped to the editing interface. Will that still be the case in V9?

This might answer your questions: [concrete5 Bedrock: A Foundation for concrete5 and concrete5 Themes. :: Concrete CMS](https://documentation.concretecms.org/developers/appendix/concrete5-bedrock-a-foundation-for-concrete5-and-concrete5-themes)

Note that page mentions Bootstrap 4, but in the last Town Hall meeting, I think Andrew clarified that it will be Bootstap 5: [https://youtu.be/vp5HvfP\_YfE?t=1970](https://youtu.be/vp5HvfP_YfE?t=1970)
