Applications can work through the Portable ASM.
As part of the PASM app platform you can apps in a group work session.
Maybe you are developing a film scene. So you start up your apps, click and drag your apps into a work session group and initiate the session. When you initiate your session you search out which mini tools(like sticky notes and work scheduling apps) and extensions(you pay for the extensions and cloud compute extensions for your particular group demand) you want to add to your session.
As the leader of the project you choose what work members of your team can see inside the project.
Further more you can higher people and use a smart ranking system to get the right people for each part of the session.
Each work session can go on the desktop which other than the recycling bin is redundant on most OS systems.
You should be able to turn a work session to sleep so that it doesn't update until reactivated on your computer not on everyone else's computer if they have the session active.
