+As of Storybook 6.3, Storybook can run with either `webpack4` or `webpack5` builder. If your addon needs to know which version of Webpack it's running inside, the version and the actual webpack instance itself are both available inside your preset:

+  const instance = (await presets.apply('webpackInstance'))?.default;
+
+  logger.info(`=> Running in webpack ${version}: ${instance}`);
+  return config;
