| 1. A computer-based method comprising the steps of: (a) establishing a communications channel through a firewall using an HTTP port or an SSL port;
(b) generating first examination results from first version information which indicates whether a first workspace element stored at a first store within the firewall has been modified;
(c) generating second examination results from second version information which indicates whether an independently-modifiable copy of the first workspace element has been modified, the copy being stored at a second store on a smart phone outside the firewall;
(d) initiating steps (b) and (c) from within the firewall through the communications channel when predetermined criteria have been satisfied;
(e) generating a preferred version from the first workspace element and from the copy based on the first and second examination results, wherein if only one of the first workspace element and the copy has been modified, then the step of generating includes selecting the one as the preferred version; and
(f) storing the preferred version at the first store and at the second store.
