Abstract: Methods, systems and apparatus, including computer program products, for real-time document sharing and editing. In one aspect, a method includes comparing a first user's and a second user's changes to a document, the document being edited by the first user and the second user concurrently; and notifying the first user of a conflicting change and content of any conflicting change to the document made by the first user but not made to the document because of the conflicting change. In another aspect, a method includes recording a saved position of a cursor of a user editing a client-side copy of a document; receiving an update to the document and generating an updated client-side copy of the document; using the saved position to determine an updated position of the cursor; and displaying to the user the updated client-side copy of the document with the cursor displayed at the updated position.

Abstract: A user interface has a main module and a plurality of panel modules. The main module presents the user interface on the display screen to a user. The plurality of panel modules are in communication with the main module. Each panel module presents a panel interface on the display screen to the user. Each panel module is individually configurable and each panel is configurable as part of the user interface presented by the main module.

Abstract: A dashboard interface includes a plurality of software buttons provided on a panel. Each software button represents one of a plurality of applications. Upon a user selecting a first software button, a first application represented by the first software button is started. Upon a user selecting and dragging a visual representation of a second application to the panel, a new software button representing the second application is added to the panel. Upon a user selecting a different software button size in a configuration menu, the size of each software button in the plurality of software buttons is changed. The plurality of applications are listed in a configuration menu. The order in which the plurality of software buttons is displayed on the panel reflects the order of the listing of the plurality of applications. Upon a user changing the order of the listing of the plurality of applications, the order in which the plurality of software buttons is displayed on the panel is changed.
