Stack Navigator
Stack Navigators are the most common form of the navigator. They allow you to move between screens in your app as you navigate through a stack of cards in a deck. When you navigate to a screen, it puts that screen on top of the deck, preserving the history so you can always go backward.
The changes made in a Stack Navigator's config panel will apply to all screens within the navigator
If you need to change the configuration of individual screens, you can select a Screen while the navigation menu is open to configure overrides.
