Can a vector tile be used as a basemap?

You can add vector tile layers as operational layers or basemaps to the map viewer or scene viewer. You can also use maps and scenes with vector tile layers in web apps, using a configurable app, Web AppBuilder, ArcGIS API for JavaScript, and ArcGIS Runtime SDKs.
