Codesandbox-client: Next.js - custom _app.js not being detected in pages directory
馃悰 bug report
Description of the problem
In a Next.js sandbox, adding a _app.js file to the pages directory to override/extend the default is not being detected by the sandbox. _app.js is not being included in the next.js build / dev process.
How has this issue affected you? What are you trying to accomplish?
I'm trying to experiment with persisting / manipulating components between page changes by adding layout and header components to _app.js

Hey @eckmLJE ,
Did you get this to work in the meanwhile? It seems to be working now:

I can guess what happened here.
When you add _app.js, you have to restart nextjs (as far as I know, it doesn't restart itself on _app.js creation)
On CodeSandbox, you can restart the server from the Server tab on the left.
I tested this scenario and it works well 馃憤
