    Abstract: A system with an interactive user interface for a plurality of users to author an electronic document simultaneously is described. The system displays visual feedback on the interface to prevent the users from interfering with one another. The system displays data from a remote database linked into the document based on unique identifiers. The data is displayed as an “artifact.” The system monitors and tracks each user's access category level, as well as the access category level of each piece of data pulled from the remote database. The system compares a user's category level to the data from the database to make visible only the portions of the document the user has the appropriate access category level to view and/or modify. The portions of the document that have a higher category level than the user will be hidden from the user either in part or completely. Also, there may be an indicator to the user of such redacted or hidden content from the user's viewer.
