Abstract:
A method includes obtaining at least one query value from a table having a plurality of cells; executing a search function using the at least one query value to identify at least a first data set that is potentially relevant to the at least one query value; and outputting, for display, a first interface area that includes information from the first data set. In response to selection of the first interface area, the method includes populating a first cell from the plurality of cells with a first data value from the first data set.
Abstract:
Systems and methods are disclosed herein for collaboratively editing a sub-section of an electronic document through a notification message. The systems and methods may be used for collaboration among multiple users, each user having a respective level of access to the electronic document and contributing content to respective sub-sections of the electronic document. A selection of the electronic document is received from a first user requesting the selection to be updated by a second user. A notification message including the selection of the electronic document is sent to the second user. A modification of the electronic document is then received from the second user in response to the second user modifying the selection of the electronic document from within the notification message. The electronic document is updated with the modification received from the second user.
Abstract:
Systems and methods are disclosed herein for detecting compounding and conflicting suggested edits in a collaborative document editing environment. A first edit and a second edit to an electronic document are received. A shared position of the first edit and the second edit in the electronic document is identified, and a compounding relationship or a conflicting relationship is determined based at least in part on the identification. The first edit, the second edit, and an indicator of the relationship are displayed to a user of the electronic document.
Abstract:
A method for providing automated suggestions in a document stored on a cloud computing service includes providing collaborators with access to the document, who may each insert suggested edits into the document. The cloud computing service provides a plurality of suggestion robots for the collaborators to activate within the document, where each suggestion robot has an associated editing objective. The cloud computing service receives a request from a first collaborator to activate a first suggestion robot and activates the robot to present to the first collaborator a plurality of suggested edits of the document according to the editing objective of the robot, where the plurality of suggested edits by the first suggestion robot are displayed with any suggested edits by the one or more collaborators, and the first collaborator may accept or reject each of the plurality of suggested edits of the robot and the collaborators.
Abstract:
Systems and methods are disclosed herein for providing a preview of an editor action related to a suggested edit of an electronic document. A first user provides a suggested edit to the electronic document, and the suggested edit to the electronic document is displayed to a second user of the electronic document. The second user provides a user input that is indicative of a desire to preview a result of the editor action on the suggested edit, such as an acceptance or a rejection of the suggested edit. Then, before the second user performs the editor action, a preview of the result of the editor action is provided to the second user in response to detecting the user input.
Abstract:
A computer-implemented method includes providing, from a server including one or more processors, a user interface element to a first computing device, wherein the first computing device is associated with a user, and the server determines that the user is associated with a second computing device that is a mobile computing device having a digital display and is logged into an account at both the first and second computing devices. The method further includes receiving a user request for a rendering of a document issued by the first computing device upon selection of the user interface element by a user, and transmitting a command to the second computing device that causes the second computing device to automatically display the rendering of the document. The method further includes receiving and storing annotation information corresponding to one or more annotations to the rendering made at the second computing device.
Abstract:
Systems and methods are disclosed herein for incorporating a second edit into a first edit in an electronic document. The first edit and the second edit in the electronic document are received, and a shared position of the first edit and the second edit in the electronic document is identified. The second edit is determined to be privileged relative to the first edit by determining that the first edit is made by a first user with a first set of permissions and the second edit is made by a second user with a second set of permissions larger than the first set of permissions. When the second edit is privileged relative to the first edit, the second edit is incorporated into the first edit.
Abstract:
Systems and methods are disclosed herein for combining a first annotation and a second annotation in an electronic document. The first annotation is received and corresponds to a first portion of the electronic document. The second annotation is received and corresponds to a second portion of the electronic document. A first position of a layout rendering of the first annotation is determined, and a second position of a layout rendering of the second annotation is determined. The first position of the layout rendering of the first annotation is compared to the second position of the layout rendering of the second annotation. When the first position conflicts with the second position, the first annotation and the second annotation are combined to form a stacked annotation.

Abstract:
A collaborative document editing system receives an input to a document from a first user. The collaborative document editing system identifies a portion of the document associated with the input and a set of users associated with the identified portion of the document. The collaborative document editing system applies the input to the document and transmits a notification regarding the input to members of the identified set of users other than the first user.
