System and method for selective synchronization

A system comprising:

• a processor;
• a data store coupled to the processor;
• a synchronization manager running on the processor, wherein the synchronization manager is configured to:
• maintain on the data store a local content hierarchy, wherein at least a portion of the local content navigation hierarchy comprises local objects that are paired with corresponding objects in a remote content navigation hierarchy on a remote content management system;
• maintain a synchronization management database on the data store, wherein the synchronization management database stores management data associated with management of the local objects, the management data identifying a selected synched set of the objects in the local content hierarchy for synchronization with the corresponding objects in the remote content navigation hierarchy, the management data further identifying a selected non-synched set of the objects in the local content hierarchy data resources;
• synchronize changes to the synched set of objects with corresponding objects in the remote content management system and blocking synchronization of changes to the non-synched set of objects.
