The Scope group comprises a collection of nested activities. Scope group is shared by all the nested activities. You can use a Scope to contain a unit of work, by making it easy to manage, execute, and revert. For example, if a customer cancels an online order, the money must be returned and the online order canceled, without affecting other orders. You can use a Scope to manage these activities as a unit.
