Answer 1

• In general, you can use extensions to add custom data to resources. Open extensions (formerly known as Office 365 data extensions) are open types that offer a flexible way to add untyped app data directly to a resource instance. Open extensions, together with their custom data, are accessible through the extensions navigation property of the resource instance. You can use this extensions to start with. In case of schema extension, it allow you to define a schema that you can use to extend a resource type. First, you create your schema extension definition. Then, use it to extend resource instances with strongly-typed custom data. In addition, you can control the status of your schema extension and let it be discoverable by other apps. These apps can in turn use the extension for their data and build further experiences on top of it. For more info, refer the doc.
