Abstract: Real time collaboration is enabled by providing a notification to users attempting access to an item, such as a document or a resource, that another user has currently access to the item. The users may be notified automatically when the other user is done accessing the item or periodically as the item is being accessed by the other user. The notification(s) may also include a summary or complete list of changes such that any user accessing the item after the other user has the latest version.
