Abstract: System and methods are directed to displaying interactive content with static content in a user interface of an application. More specifically, it may be determined that an interactive component is to be rendered in a user interface of a first application, where the user interface includes static content. In response to determining that the interactive component is it be rendered, at least one linking parameter may be determined for linking the interactive component with interactive content stored in a shared storage. Based on the at least one linking parameter, the interactive component may be rendered in the user interface of the first application in-line with the static content of the user interface of the first application. Changes to the interactive content made by a second user of a second application may then be updated within the interactive component rendered in the user interface of the first application.

Abstract: Traditional messaging applications (such as email, social networking platforms, text, instant messaging, chat, etc.) are ill-equipped for collaboration. For instance, a sender and recipients corresponding regarding a topic are often required to exchange multiple messages. As a result, determining a consensus regarding the topic or summarizing the collaboration is difficult and cumbersome. Moreover, when links are included in messages, recipients are required to navigate away from the messaging application to view the linked content. A messaging application is provided that may be configured to enable users to dynamically collaborate regarding links or data within a sent message or a receive message. In aspects, a collaborative user experience (UX) is provided, which may be an interface within a message that enables real-time collaboration between a sender and one or more recipients regarding message content—without exchanging additional messages or navigating away from the messaging application.

Abstract: An email system detects a user interaction to interact with a social media application, within the email system. The email system accesses a social media component that renders a user interface from the social media system and detects interactions with the user interface to generate content for the social media application. The social media component calls the social media application, with the content, and provides a response indicating that the content has been sent to the social media application.

Abstract: A messaging system identifies a received message as a notification message from a conversation system in a media application. The messaging system obtains rendering information to render a current state of the conversation thread represented by the message. The message system renders the current state of the followed conversation thread, with actuators that provide interactive functionality allowing the user to interact with the conversation thread, in the message viewer of the user's messaging system.

Abstract: A method for scaling out database information may include creating second database instantiation. The method may include configuring one or more partitions of a first database for transfer to the second database and configuring the second database for receiving the one or more first database partitions. The method may also include transferring the one or more first database partitions to the second database.

Abstract: An interface mechanism is provided for developers to bundle together a set of extensions (or add-ins) to a productivity suite allowing end users and system administrators to manage their lifecycle in a unified way. Aspects such as discovery, acquisition, authorization deployment, management, updates, and similar ones may be addressed for the bundle as opposed to each of the different extensions (for example extensions for different versions of the same application such as desktop version, web application version, mobile version, etc.). Bundles may also provide a means to match specific functional sets or commercial offerings to specific user or customer profiles.

Abstract: Mechanisms are described herein for propagating a theme definition from a host application to a host extension so that the host application and the host extension are visually consistent. A theme definition may be updated after a theme change event occurs as a result of a user interacting with the host application. The theme definition may then be utilized by the host extension to update one or more UI elements presented by the host extension to enable visual consistency.

Abstract: An abstraction for one or more commands associated with a client application may be received upon deployment of a host application. The abstraction may be an extension with a same package and code such that the extension is enabled across a variety of platforms, host applications, and devices. For example, the extension may be displayed through a user interface of the host application based on definitions contained within the abstraction such that the extension is compatible with a platform and device on which the host application is deployed. The commands may be translated into graphical control elements, and displayed in conjunction with the extension based on the definitions. Upon invocation of one or more of the commands, an action may be performed based on the definitions enabling the client application to interact with content being created, edited, and/or viewed in the host application in an appropriate context.
