Automatically adjust item sizes (Large, Medium, Small) based on available space File Menu & Backstage View : Complete file menu with traditional File menu or modern backstage interface Contextual Tabs : Show/hide tabs dynamically based on user selection or application state Gallery Support : Visual selection galleries with grouping, filtering, and custom item templates KeyTips & Keyboard Navigation
