This is nice, but I would actually find the reverse far more useful. It's easy to find a document on a Windows PC with the big screen and file navigation tools (and per-app Jump Lists). On the other hand, it can be a pain to get to a particular document on a phone. Often, I don't bother working on my phone just because of the hassle of getting to the document. If I could quickly pick up where I left off on my PC, I'd probably do a little more work every night when I go to bed.

I'm confused, what exactly is new? The article calls it a 'new feature' and that it's a copy from Apple, but then at the end of the article it says that this feature is just the existing 'Continue from Phone' feature renamed as 'Resume'? This feature has been around even in Windows Mobile days even before Apple (getting a notification on my PC after editing a doc on my Lumia, which then opened the UWP version of Word), and even another iteration previously named as 'Continue on PC'. Then it went away for a while. So it's really a returning feature, not really a new feature - unless there's something different with this iteration?

Ah, another Windows 11 "feature" that I guess is going to be exclusive to Samsung devices .
