- Timeline, User Activities, and Adaptive Cardss: the User Activities and the User Timeline keep users coming back to use an app. To achieve its graphical representation, Adaptive Cards, an open source card exchange format, can be used.Make sure your app has a URI scheme so that you can enable deep linking. User Activities and Adaptive Cards will also become important APIs in Sets, which will be discussed more in Microsoft Build 2018."
