Cross-context digital item containers and collaboration

Abstract

Techniques for cross-context digital item containers and collaboration are provided, including receiving a command to add a particular digital item in a portfolio of digital items, wherein the portfolio of digital items includes one or more digital items, and then adding it in the portfolio of digital items. Subsequently, a request for display of the portfolio of digital items is received and an interactive view of the portfolio of digital items, including the particular digital item is displayed. When an interaction with the interactive view of the portfolio of digital items requesting to use the particular digital item in a second application is received, a digital copy of the particular digital item is provided to the second application for use in the second application.
