WRITE BACK OF DOCUMENTS OPENED IN THIRD-PARTY APPLICATIONS

摘要

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.
