+- When the device lies flat on a table and is pushed on its left side toward the right, the **X** acceleration value is positive.
 
-- When the device lies flat on a table, the acceleration value is +1.00 G or (+9.81 m/s^2), which correspond to the acceleration of the device (0 m/s^2) minus the force of gravity (-9.81 m/s^2) and normalized as in G.

-- When the device lies flat on a table and is pushed toward the sky with an acceleration of A m/s^2, the acceleration value is equal to A+9.81 which corresponds to the acceleration of the device (+A m/s^2) minus the force of gravity (-9.81 m/s^2) and normalized in G.
+- When the device lies flat on a table and is pushed toward the sky with an acceleration of **A** $m/s^2$, the acceleration value is equal to $A+9.81$ which corresponds to the acceleration of the device $(+A m/s^2)$ minus the force of gravity $(-9.81 m/s^2)$ and normalized in **G**.

+The `Microsoft.Maui.Essentials.AppActions` class lets you create and respond to app shortcuts from the app icon. App shortcuts are helpful to users because they allow you, as the app developer, to present them with additional ways of starting your app. For example, if you were developing an email and calendar app, you could present two different app actions, one to open the app directly to the current day of the calendar, and another to open to the email inbox folder.
