Pattern Decisions This Source Supports
| Pattern | Supported decision | Required contract | Claim note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Activity feed | Choose activity feed when the primary task is catching up on recent collaboration or system activity across work objects rather than reading broad content or managing audit evidence. | Each item represents one meaningful work activity or a grouped set with stable actor, action, object, source, timestamp, type, preview, scope, and destination. | Microsoft Teams app guidance documents activity feed notification cards, retention, custom activity icons, and mobile and desktop card variants. |
| Feed | Choose feed when the core experience is consuming a continuing stream rather than managing a fixed set of objects. | Each feed item has a stable identity, source, timestamp, item boundary, and primary destination or action. | Microsoft Teams provides a concrete activity feed example with card variants, source identity, and cross-device behavior. |
