Announcement took place in the framework of Build 2017 developer conference. Microsoft's vice president of development of Windows and device Terry Myerson (Terry Myerson) identified four key features of the update:
- List of used Timeline apps.
- The opportunity to start working with the program on one device and continue on another.
- Cloud clipboard.
- OneDrive files available on request.
Timeline - a new function that improves the viewing zone running programs. Now the application will appear in it, which were previously used on other devices. This innovation can be seen as a time machine that allows you to go back to the old workloads.
Timeline feature is closely related to another new feature - Pick Up Where You Left Off ( «Continue where stopped"). Thanks to her, you can begin working with an application on one device and continue on another. Innovation will be useful to all those who often use smartphones or tablets on iOS and Android.
Microsoft introduced the so-called cloud clipboard: it allows you to select a file on your computer and copy it to your phone. The function also works with the above two mobile operating systems.
