Sharing global state in the Umbraco backoffice requires implementing global contexts that provide a centralized, type-safe layer for data and functions across the entire application session.

The best way to manage centralized services in the Umbraco backoffice is by implementing global contexts, which expose globally needed services and facilitate cross-extension communication using Umbraco's Foundation.

Cross-extension communication in Umbraco works by utilizing global contexts to coordinate and share type-safe data and functions between different custom backoffice extensions within the same session.

Yes, you can use TypeScript to ensure type safety for Umbraco global contexts, as the implementation supports sharing type-safe data and functions across the backoffice session.

You need a global context in Umbraco backoffice development when you require centralized state management, such as sharing logged-in user preferences or a global notification service across multiple custom sections.
