## What it is
SB Admin 2 is a free, open source Bootstrap 4 admin dashboard theme from Start Bootstrap, distributed as HTML/SCSS template files. It ships with a Gulp-based dev environment for compiling SCSS, minifying assets, and live-reloading previews.

## Use cases
- bootstrap admin dashboard template
- free admin panel theme for a web app
- starting point for a backend CMS interface
- customize an SCSS-based dashboard UI
- quick admin layout with charts and tables
- download a Bootstrap 4 dashboard theme via npm

## When to choose
- you want a ready-made Bootstrap 4 admin UI to customize with plain HTML/SCSS
- you need a free MIT-licensed dashboard template without a JS framework
- you prefer simple static templates over component libraries

## When to avoid
- you need a React/Vue/Angular admin component library
- you're on Bootstrap 5 and want actively updated themes
