# Considerations for Using the Dynamic Activity Composer

Review considerations for using the dynamic activity composer instead of the tabbed activity composer.

### Required Editions

<table class="slds-table slds-table_bordered slds-max-medium-table_stacked slds-m-bottom_small edition"><colgroup><col></colgroup><tbody><tr class=""><td class="slds-cell-wrap" style="vertical-align:top;">Available in Lightning Experience in all editions except <strong>Starter</strong></td></tr></tbody></table>

The dynamic activity composer is different from the tabbed activity composer.

- Macros don’t work with the dynamic activity composer. To use macros, revert to the tabbed activity composer.
- If feed tracking is enabled, the dynamic activity composer doesn’t work in the Case object.
- The Add Call to To Do List and Add Email to To Do List options appear only if the To Do List is in the utility bar and at least one task action is in the dynamic activity composer.
- To launch a quick action from your custom component using the dynamic activity composer, use the `lightning-navigation` and `lightning-page-reference-utils` components.
