Connected Experiences on Windows

Connected Experiences are the Windows platform contracts that let your app participate in three high-value moments: when a user shares content, when they reach for a person, and when they continue an activity on another device. By publishing structured intent — a share target, a contact, or an activity context — your app appears in the Share Sheet, the People Widget, Windows Search, and the taskbar Resume badge, without building any of that UI yourself.

This section covers the three pillars and the resources shared across them.
