I am migrating custom expectations into the new GX 1.0 and I noticed that in the core expectations there are now two renders: ` _prescriptive_renderer` and `_prescriptive_template` which have similar content, it seems like the `_prescriptive_renderer` is legacy since it has these decorator @renderer(renderer\_type=LegacyRendererType.PRESCRIPTIVE).

Will `_prescriptive_renderer` be faced out? So would it be best to migrate to the `_prescriptive_template ` ? I could not find any documentation on this.

The `_prescriptive_renderer` is for Core Data Docs. You should follow the legacy pattern for now, as we no longer have plans to remove that pattern in the near term. The `_prescriptive_template` is specific to GX Cloud, so if you’re only using Core you can safely ignore it.
