Parallel Routes in Next.js 16

Concept

Parallel routes allow you to simultaneously render multiple pages within the same layout. Each route is defined in a "slot" using the @folder naming convention.

Key characteristics:

• Slots are defined with @ prefix (e.g., @team, @analytics)
• Each slot is passed as a prop to the parent layout
• Slots render independently and can have their own loading/error states
• Navigation within one slot doesn't affect other slots
