A reference to a digital item is stored as a digital card. The digital card can also be contained in, and/or refer to, other digital cards. The digital card can also include properties or attributes that may be added from the digital item that is being referred to. The digital card can be tagged with a tag that may also be applied to other digital cards. The digital card can be stored in a data pod within a de-centralized data storage system architecture so the tag is surfaced along with the digital card in different contexts.

Changing user settings across applications and/or across devices via a dialog within one application is provided herein. The systems and methods discussed herein provide for an improved user experience and fewer computing resources to be expended when changing user settings by aggregating the changeable settings, allowing for their modification via a single dialog, and distributing settings changes to remote hosts, which in turn provide consistent settings across devices. The settings available to the user may be governed in association with the user's licenses to access programs and may be affected by domain level controls by an administrator.
