+````
+cloudSync.tabs.removeEventListener("change", handleTabChange);
+````
+
+#### mergeRemoteTabs(client, tabs)
+
+Merge remote tabs from upstream by updating existing items, adding new tabs, and deleting existing tabs. Accepts a client and a list of tabs. Returns a promise.
+
+````
+let remoteClient = {
+ id: "fawe78",
+ name: "My Firefox client",
+};
+
+let remoteTabs = [
+ {title: "Google",
+ url: "https://www.google.com",

+````
+
+#### getLocalTabs()
+
+Returns a promise. Passes a list of local tabs when complete.

+### cloudSync.bookmarks
+
+#### getRootFolder(name)
+

+ function(rootFolder) {
+ console.log(rootFolder);
+ }
+);
+````
+
+### cloudSync.bookmarks.RootFolder
+
+This is a root folder object for bookmarks, created by `cloudSync.bookmarks.getRootFolder`.

+
+````
+let separatorType = rootFolder.SEPARATOR;
+````
+
+#### addEventListener(type, callback)
+
+Add an event handler for Tabs events. Valid types are `add, remove, change, move`. The callback receives an ID corresponding to the target item.
+
+````
+function handleBoookmarkEvent(id) {
+ console.log("event for id:", id);
+}
+
+rootFolder.addEventListener("add", handleBookmarkEvent);
+rootFolder.addEventListener("remove", handleBookmarkEvent);
+rootFolder.addEventListener("change", handleBookmarkEvent);
+rootFolder.addEventListener("move", handleBookmarkEvent);
+````
+
+#### removeEventListener(type, callback)
+
+Remove an event handler. Pass the type and function that were passed to addEventListener.
+
+````
+rootFolder.removeEventListener("add", handleBookmarkEvent);
+rootFolder.removeEventListener("remove", handleBookmarkEvent);
+rootFolder.removeEventListener("change", handleBookmarkEvent);
+rootFolder.removeEventListener("move", handleBookmarkEvent);
+````
+
+#### getLocalItems()
+
+Callback receives a list of items on the local client. Results have the following form:
+
+````
+{
+ id: "faw8e7f", // item guid
+ parent: "f7sydf87y", // parent folder guid
+ dateAdded: 1400799296192, // timestamp
+ lastModified: 1400799296192, // timestamp
+ uri: "https://www.google.ca", // null for FOLDER and SEPARATOR
+ title: "Google"
+ type: rootFolder.BOOKMARK, // should be one of rootFolder.{BOOKMARK, FOLDER, SEPARATOR},
+ index: 0 // must be unique among folder items
+}
+````
+
+````
+rootFolder.getLocalItems().then(
+ function(items) {
+ console.log(JSON.stringify(items));
+ }
+);
+````
+
+#### getLocalItemsById([...])
+
+Callback receives a list of items, specified by ID, on the local client. Results have the same form as `getLocalItems()` above.
+
+````
+rootFolder.getLocalItemsById(["213r23f", "f22fy3f3"]).then(
+ function(items) {
+ console.log(JSON.stringify(items));
+ }
+);
+````
+
+#### mergeRemoteItems([...])
+
+Merge remote items from upstream by updating existing items, adding new items, and deleting existing items. Folders are created first so that subsequent operations will succeed. Items have the same form as `getLocalItems()` above. Items that do not have an ID will have an ID generated for them. The results structure will contain this generated ID.
+
+````
+rootFolder.mergeRemoteItems([
+ {
+ id: 'f2398f23',
+ type: rootFolder.FOLDER,
+ title: 'Folder 1',
+ parent: '9f8237f928'
+ },
+ {
+ id: '9f8237f928',
+ type: rootFolder.FOLDER,
+ title: 'Folder 0',
+ }
+ ]).then(
+ function(items) {
+ console.log(items); // any generated IDs are filled in now
+ console.log("merge completed");
+ }
+);
