This disclosure relates to systems and methods for collecting content items displayed on a user device and combining them into a folder using a multiple finger gesture. The user device may also use a multiple finger gesture to disassociate the content items from the folder. In other embodiments, the user device may use a combination of gestures and voice commands to collect or disassociate content items.

Collecting items with multi-touch gestures

In some implementations, content of a content item may be presented on an electronic device and a portion of the content item may be selected to be hidden from presentation. The electronic device may hide the selected portion of the content during presentation of the content. Further, selection information identifying at least the location of the selected portion of the content item may be communicated over a network to a computing device to enable synchronization of the hidden content with other instances of the content item on other devices of the user. In some examples, the user may select one or more chapters of the content item to be hidden by selecting one or more chapter identifiers in a table of contents of the content item. Hidden content may include text, images, audio and/or video content, depending on the type of content item that is accessed.
