Alexa – Retirement of Display Templates

The Alexa Development Environment has had a message announcing the replacement of Display Templates with the APL (Advanced Presentation Language). On the Interfaces tab, there is an option for disabling the Templates if they are currently active.

What this means for the Intents, is the removal of the following Amazon Intents from the Build:
MoreIntent, NavigateSettingsIntent, NextIntent, PageDownIntent, PageUpIntent, PreviousIntent, ScrollDownIntent, ScrollLeftIntent, ScrollRightIntent, ScrollUpIntent

Below is a list of Intents that were removed from the build utility – from a comparison of the JSON Intent structure:
