Abstract
An example computer implemented method to manage and transfer access to a synchronized content item across multiple users includes displaying a local version of the content item in an application window of a first application. The local version of the content item can be associated with a cloud version of the content item stored on a content management system. The method also includes displaying a content item control interface in the application window with the displayed content item. This content item control interface can be displayed by a second application responsible for synchronizing the local version of the content item with the cloud version of the content item and for managing content item controls through the content management system. The content item level control interface can include a content item editing permission interface that can allow a user to claim or release an editing permission to the content item.
