Abstract: Synchronization of folders shared among multiple clients over a network is provided. A first user of a first client instantiates a folder to be shared, and the folder and its contents are synchronized with a host system. As the user makes changes to the folder and its contents on the first client, those changes are propagated to the synchronized version on the host server. Other clients who will be sharing the synchronized folder register with the host system and obtain a current version of the synchronized folder and contents. As the contents of the synchronized folder are changed by any of the clients, the changes are propagated to the host system, which in turn delivers the changes to each of the clients registered as sharing that folder. In this way, each client participating in the share has a current version of the folder and its contents.

Abstract: A collaborative content management system allows users to make revisions to a collaborative content item by previewing revision suggestions without applying changes the underlying collaborative content item. The user can select a portion of the collaborative content item for revision, and modify the selected portion via a user interface. When the user interface is selected, revisions are visible to a user in place of the selected text span; when the user interface is not selected, the original text span is once again displayed. This allows a user to toggle between versions of a collaborative content item. If a user approves a suggested revision, the user can select an approval instruction causing a selected text span to be replaced by revisions made via the user interface. If a user rejects a suggested revision, the user can select a rejection instruction and the selected text span remains within the collaborative content item.
