+- **Web parts** are reusable elements that serve as the building blocks for SharePoint pages. They allow you to create customizable controls that can be used across multiple pages.
+- **Extensions** enable you to extend the SharePoint user experience by adding scripts to pages, modifying views, adding new actions, and altering list form experiences.
+- **Library components** are reusable code elements that can be shared across all the components in the tenant.
+- **Adaptive Card Extensions (ACEs)** allow you to build rich, native extensions for Viva Connections Dashboards and SharePoint Pages.

 Install additional dependencies with a single click straight from the scaffolding form. Currently we support installing [PnP reusable property pane controls](https://pnp.github.io/sp-dev-fx-property-controls/), [PnP reusable React controls](https://pnp.github.io/sp-dev-fx-controls-react/), and [PnPjs](https://pnp.github.io/pnpjs/).
