Abstract
Sharing data between applications includes a first application converting data from a first format useable by the first application to a second format useable by a second application and the first application providing editing restrictions to restrict the second application from editing at least some of the data in the second format. At least some of the editing restrictions may prohibit editing at least some of the data by the second application. The user may receive a notification in connection with attempting to edit at least some of the data indicating that editing is prohibited. At least some of the restrictions may provide a warning to a user of the second application. The user may choose to edit the restricted data after receiving the warning.
