Most of the functions available from the now-defunct Charms menu have moved to other places. But one signature feature, the Share charm, has been mostly lost in the shuffle in the first wave of Windows 10 previews.
The idea behind the Share charm is admirable: if you see something in one app, you can send it to another app, with the Share charm handling the handoff.
Send a link to Twitter. Send a paragraph of text to an email message. Share some photos to Facebook. And developers don't have to do anything special to enable this universal sharing.
The Share functionality is still available in Windows 10 apps, but you have to dig for it. In the new Photos app, there's a Share icon at the top of the App window. In other apps, you have to open the hamburger menu to find this option.
Share contracts will live on in Windows 10, but who knows what form they'll take?
