Allow authors to develop custom actions to include in Guides steps. Some examples of the type of actions which should be permitted to extend the use cases for guides: - take a photo or video from within HoloLens 2 to audit a step or capture an object state - calling a REST API with a piece of data, adding the response to the available data on the next step - calling an Azure Function, passing a piece of data (e.g. a photo of an object), adding the response to the available data on the next step

This is Dave Pinch from the product team. In Guides 8.2 (April 2023) we are relaxing the restriction from using custom URIs in the action button of a guide step. Right now (pre-8.3) you are limited to linking to http and https websites. Starting in 8.2 you can link to any custom URI scheme supported on the HoloLens including other guides, settings pages, and custom apps registered for a URI. This will make it easier to implement custom actions as described here. More information will be posted in the forum as we get closer to April.

This would be very useful as a form of process confirmation. Snap a picture during or after completing the guide.

I've got a customer that wants this very thing. If the operator had the ability to snap a picture or video and make comments on each step. That info gets stored with the step information that then can be pulled out later for reporting (PowerBI) or audit purposes. This would be a great feature. Seems like right now it's only possible with a customer solution like PowerApps.

I currently accomplish this with PowerApps, which store the images within my company shares for further processing.
