Abstract:

Systems, methods, and software are disclosed herein for indicating that a change made to content in a collaborative document is updating on a cached version displayed to a user. A cached version of a collaborative document is displayed in a user interface to an application. A source of the collaborative document external to the cached version of the collaborative document is then queried for changes that have occurred to content within the collaborative document since the cached version of the collaborative document was generated. If a change has occurred to the content within the collaborative document, an indication is displayed in the user interface that the cached version of the collaborative document is being updated based on the change.

Abstract:

Aspects of the present disclosure relate to a unified activity service. In one aspect, different files stored on different storage platforms may be rendered on different user interfaces. Multiple activities associated with each of the different files may be obtained from the activity service. In another aspect, activity metadata corresponding to the multiple activities may be stored in the activity service. Activities associated with the different files may include content changes in a file (e.g., edits and deletions), sharing a file, renaming a file, comments within a file, messaging, and conversations related to a file. The different storage platforms may be independent of the activity service.

International Classification:

G06F 17/30
H04L 29/08

Abstract:

An end user application stores activity data in a part of an electronic document. When the electronic document is stored on a shared storage system, activity data is extracted and stored in an activity store. After activity data has been successfully stored in the activity store, the end user application can remove the activity data from the electronic document. In particular, the end user application can periodically query the activity store to identify activities that have been successfully stored in the activity store. By removing the activity data from the electronic document, the electronic document can be maintained at a reasonable size. By having the end user application remove the activity data, coherency of the data file, and consistency between local copies on end user computers and copies on the shared storage system, can be maintained.

International Classification:

H04L 12/18
H04L 29/08
H04L 29/06

Abstract:

A computer system tracks and analyzes activity data, notifications, and user interactions with activity data and notifications. By analyzing this information, the computer system can identify, for individual users and across a set of users, which activity data and notifications are most relevant. Such activity data and notifications are most relevant when they result in the end user having further user interaction through the electronic document. The information about the relevance of the activity data and notifications can be used for managing sending of notifications and presenting activity data in end user applications.

International Classification:

G06F 17/30

Abstract:

Aspects of the present disclosure relate to a unified activity service. In one aspect, a first file stored on a first storage platform may be rendered on a first user interface. One or more activities associated with the first file may be obtained from the activity service. A second file stored on a second storage platform may be rendered on a second user interface. One or more activities associated with the second file may be obtained from the activity service. In another aspect, activity metadata corresponding to at least one activity associated with a first file stored on a first storage platform and activity metadata corresponding to at least one activity associated with a second file stored on a second storage platform may be received at and stored in the activity service.
