Is there any trick or way to use nested navigation with some sharable UI content ?
Fir example in my case I want all the :

policyGraph()
contactUsGraph()
aboutUsGraph()
conditionOfUseGraph()

share the same "Custom Parent Layout" but the other graphs do not share that layout ?

We talked about this recently as well as the long term vision for these types of UI that is shared across multiple destinations: https://kotlinlang.slack.com/archives/CJLTWPH7S/p1654836389534839?thread_ts=1654793995.106589&cid=CJLTWPH7S

But right now, that shared content would need to be hoisted up out of the NavHost (just like any other shared UI, probably using AnimatedVisibility + looking at the currentBackStackEntry and its hierarchy to determine if you are in a particular graph to know when that UI should be visible or not

I am experimenting with what it would take to have a single Scaffold for the entire app that responds to screen changes.

I imagine it will be a lot of work and infrastructure but I believe I could make beautifully animated screen transitions.

I just have to ask, what is Modifier.sharedElement and where does it exist? I mean, it’s referred to as the secret sauce and that seems to be oh so true.

The "in a shared element based world" doesn't exist yet - it is referring to the future state

I’ll take the role of the shared element evangelist and let you know that this is now possible 😄
