based on receiving the user input indicating the linked document command, inserting a format attribute associated with the first document within the new linked document.

8. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising, based on receiving a user interaction with the link within the first document, providing, for display, the content of the new linked document.

9. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:

storing the new linked document in a folder associated with the first document; and

associating the new linked document with a user that is associated with the folder.

10. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:

based on receiving the user input indicating the linked document command:

providing a prompt for a title for the new linked document;

receiving, from a client device, a title for the new linked document; and

associating the title for the new linked document with the new linked document.

11. A content management system comprising:

at least one processor; and

at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the content management system to:

provide a first document within a document editor, wherein the first document is editable and content of the first document is synchronized with a particular set of user accounts comprising a particular set of rights for the first document;

receive user input indicating a selection of a portion of the first document;

receive user input indicating a linked document command associated with the selection of the portion of the first document; and

in response to receiving the user input indicating the linked document command:

create a new linked document comprising the portion of the first document, wherein the new linked document is editable and content of the new linked document is automatically synchronized with the particular set of user accounts;

automatically assigning the particular set of rights corresponding to the particular set of user accounts for the new linked document, wherein the particular set of rights updates for the particular set of user accounts for both the new linked document and the first document upon receiving an update to the particular set of rights for either the new linked document or the first document;

generate a link corresponding to a storage location of the new linked document within the content management system; and

replace the portion in the first document with the link corresponding to the new linked document, such that when the first document is displayed in the document editor, the link is displayed within the first document in place of the portion, wherein the first document is associated with changes identified within the new linked document.

12. The content management system of claim 11 , further comprising instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the content management system to provide the new linked document for display within the document editor or within an additional document editor based on receiving user input indicating a selection of the link within the first document.

13. The content management system of claim 12 , further comprising instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the content management system to receive updates, from a client device, to content of the new linked document, wherein the updates comprise the changes identified within the new linked document.

14. The content management system of claim 11 , further comprising instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the content management system to:

in response to receiving the user input indicating the linked document command:

insert a comment into the new linked document; and

associate the comment with the portion in the new linked document.

15. The content management system of claim 11 , further comprising instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the content management system to provide a menu comprising an option for the linked document command within the document editor in response to receiving the user input indicating the selection of the portion of the first document.

16. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, cause a computer device to:

provide a first document within a document editor, wherein the first document is editable and content of the first document is synchronized with a particular set of user accounts comprising a particular set of rights for the first document;

receive user input indicating a selection of a portion of the first document;

receive user input indicating a linked document command associated with the selection of the portion of the first document; and

in response to receiving the user input indicating the linked document command:

create a new linked document comprising the portion of the first document, wherein the new linked document is editable and content of the new linked document is automatically synchronized with the particular set of user accounts;

automatically assigning the particular set of rights corresponding to the particular set of user accounts for the new linked document, wherein the particular set of rights updates for the particular set of user accounts for both the new linked document and the first document upon receiving an update to the particular set of rights for either the new linked document or the first document;
