Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method for distributing authority for data objects. Each of the data objects in a replication set is stored at a different data storage site and comprises a copy of a content. An edit authority is assigned to only one of the data storage sites at a time using an edit authority object corresponding to the replication set that is transferable between the data storage sites. Responsive to a change to the content of a data object located at a particular data storage site having the edit authority, an update is propagated to a remaining portion of the data storage sites to affect eventual consistency of the replication set. Usability of the data objects at the remaining portion of the data storage sites is maintained until the update is received and processed to thereby reduce a time and expense associated with maintaining data consistency.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure may include a system and method for passing documents between sandboxed applications in an efficient manner. When a document is passed from a source application to a target application, information regarding when the document was passed and to which application the document was passed to is stored in a document history table. Once the document is passed back to the source application, a document matching manager relies on information stored in the history table to determine if the document being passed back should overwrite a previous version of the document. If the document matching manager cannot determine that the previous version of the document should be overwritten, a user may be prompted to store the document at a desired location.
