All three features are coming with the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update. Surface. And with the Fall Creators Update, Microsoft is working to eliminate any remaining friction for using it across the entire system at all times.
This release of the Windows 10 SDK Preview Build, we have introduced the following new controls: NavigationView, TreeView, RatingsControl, ColorPicker, ParallaxView and PersonPicture to the Windows.UI.XAML.Controls namespace.
Besides implementing the new features in Windows, the company will encourage other software developers to incorporate the design into their applications.

"Imagine logging off your PC and having the doc you were editing pop up on your phone", Myerson asked, adding that Cortana will ask users if they want to pick up where they left off in the app, doc or website. The Windows 10 Story Remix app will let you tweak and customize the creations, and add soundtracks and custom titles. The company says the feature, which will site within the Windows app switcher, is a way to "easily jump back in time to continue where you left off".
While the ability to automatically select, trim and create videos and incorporate them into themes with editable storyboards isn't new, nor is the ability to change music or sync to beats. If you're connected, clicking them will automatically download and open them, just like a local file.
Perhaps the most prominent change for the average user will be the launch of the Microsoft Fluent Design System, previously known as Project Neon.
In addition, your OneDrive files won't just be visible on your desktop, they'll also be shown in the file picker when you're using a Windows store application.
On top of new graphical options, the Fall Creators Update will give developers the ability to extend core application features across devices.
