1. A method comprising:
registering, by a client application of a first client device with an operating system of the first client device, to receive monitoring events for a native application installed on the first client device;
detecting, by the client application based on information received from an operating system of the first client device, a save operation on a content item synchronized between a content management system and the client application, the save operation including an edit to the content item, the save operation performed using a native application with which the content item was edited, the native application being of the first client device and being different from the client application, the save operation detected by the operating system to match the registration and responsively causing the operating system to transmit the information to the client application;
responsive to detecting the save operation, generating for display, by the client application, a user interface element prompting for comment data to associate with the edit to the content item;
receiving the comment data; and
transmitting the comment data to the content management system for synchronization with a second client device.
