Abstract: Holographic augmented authoring provides an extension to personal computing experiences of a universal or conventional productivity application. A user interface of a productivity application executing on a personal computing device can be switched from a touch or conventional mode to a holographic mode, which opens communication between the personal computing device and a holographic enabled device providing a mixed reality system. A semantic representation of a command in a productivity application is generated as a hologram in a mixed reality system and the change to a content file from performing the command in the mixed reality system does not require a holographic enabled device to view or even further edit.

Abstract: A method for displaying a scalable user interface on a display device includes arranging multiple regions of application functionalities and information for display substantially in-line within a designated area of an application, identifying an amount of space available to the user interface within the designated area of the application, comparing the amount of available application space with an amount of space used by the multiple regions of application functionalities and information, and adjusting the visual display of at least one of the multiple regions of application functionalities and information according to one or more predetermined scaling priorities to accommodate the available space within the designated area of the application.

Abstract: Embodiments encompass linking features that enable creation, insertion, and/or modification of links and/or link previews, but the embodiments are not so limited. A computer-implemented method of an embodiment operates to provide a link tool interface that can be used to generate link previews that may be inserted as part of a link source. The link tool interface of an embodiment is configured to store a link preview for use and reuse. A device of an embodiment is configured with a link tool interface configured to display an insert link dialog that enables users to manage links, including creating, modifying, and/or inserting link previews. Other embodiments are included.

Abstract: Tasks can be visualized and tracked through automatic generation of a task board based on data from a project management application and data transferred from a task board to a project management application. Summary tasks, which represent grouping of related tasks in project management, are pivoted such that sub-tasks can be laid out in task board rows or “stories.” Progress status indicators in a task board (or columns) are derived automatically from intrinsic and traditional project management application fields like “percent complete” enabling users to take advantage of traditional project management features such as dependencies, resource leveling, etc., while presenting a simplified and intuitive task board interface to a project manager and/or a project team.

Abstract: Seamless interaction between a task board and an underlying Critical Path Method (CPM) based project management application is provided, where users are enabled to move tasks on a task board user interface across columns or summary task (“story”) rows. Upon detecting a move of a task, a task board application (or its parent project management application) updates a project hierarchy of tasks reflecting the new grouping if the move is across rows such that critical path and other computations for the overall project can be updated by the project management application. If the move is across columns indicating a change of task property, relevant properties associated with the task (and/or its parent task(s)) are updated and provided to the project management application for re-computation of appropriate aspects of the project.
