Various techniques are disclosed for managing and modifying data items. In some embodiments, a first data item can be selected for password protection via establishing an active secured user session according to a set of user credentials. Thereafter, subsequent data items can be selected for password protection using the same set of user credentials while the secured user session remains active. In some embodiments, a gesture input can be received by a touch interface. The input can be detected, and when the input is recognized as a command for creating an extension of a work space associated with a data item, then the extension of the work space is generated. In some embodiments, the gesture input received by the touch interface is recognized as a command for creating a new work space associated with the data item such that a new work space is generated upon recognizing the input.
