Abstract
Systems, methods, and software are described herein for enhancing features within program applications. In an implementation, a user associated with a productivity application is identified and a service application associated with the user is identified. A service feature that corresponds to the service is enabled within the productivity application. The service feature allows the user to perform a function on content generated with the productivity application that is related to the service.

8. A method of operating a service management system, the method comprising:
-
receiving a service request transferred for delivery to the service management system by a client device that identifies a login identity associated with a productivity application running on the client device and used by a user to generate content; processing the service request to determine, based on the login identity, which services of a plurality of services to enable within the productivity application; to enable the services, transferring a response for delivery to the client device that includes service information with which service features within productivity features of the productivity application communicate with the services to allow the user to perform features on the content related to the services. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A computer readable medium having program instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a feature enablement system, direct the feature enablement system to:
-
identify a user associated with a productivity application with which the user interacts with content; identify a service associated with the user; and
,enable a service feature within a productivity feature of the productivity application that corresponds to the service application and that allows the user to perform a function with the content related to the service. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)

21. A computer readable medium having program instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a client device operated by a user identified to a productivity application by a first identity, direct the client device to:
-
present through a user interface a productivity feature menu in the productivity application that corresponds to a plurality of productivity features; responsive to a selection from the productivity feature menu that corresponds to one of the plurality of productivity features, present through the user interface a service feature menu in the productivity application that corresponds to a plurality of service features comprising at least one service feature enabled based on an association between the user and an online service corresponding to the one service feature, wherein the user is identified to the online service by a second identity different than the first identity; and responsive to a selection of the one service feature, initiate a function on content generated with the productivity application using content associated with the online service. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26)

27. A method of presenting a productivity application on a client device operated by a user identified to the productivity application by a first identity, the method comprising:
-
presenting through a user interface a productivity feature menu in the productivity application that corresponds to a plurality of productivity features; responsive to a selection from the productivity feature menu that corresponds to one of the plurality of productivity features, presenting through the user interface a service feature menu in the productivity application that corresponds to a plurality of service features comprising at least one service feature enabled based on an association between the user and an online service corresponding to the one service feature, wherein the user is identified to the online service by a second identity different than the first identity; and responsive to a selection of the one service feature, initiating a function on content generated with the productivity application using content associated with the online service. - View Dependent Claims (28, 29, 30)
