Abstract: Non-limiting examples of the present disclosure relate to service-backed generation and management of digital ruled paper templates in an exemplary application/service such as a notetaking service. As an example, access to a user account of a notetaking service is detected. A digital context associated with the user account is evaluated. An evaluation of the digital context comprises identifying user identity data associated with the user account and analyzing domain specific data of the notetaking service that corresponds with the identified user identity data. The domain specific data may comprise data identifying a specific electronic notebook of the notetaking service. A customized listing of digital ruled paper templates is populated based on an evaluation of the digital context. The customized listing of digital ruled paper templates is transmitted to the client computing device, which surfaces the customized listing of digital ruled paper templates in a user interface of the notetaking service.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided that enable single sign-on (SSO) mechanisms on rich clients running hosting applications that include documents with one or more embedded web assets. An embedded web asset may be any resource (e.g., document, image, data, etc.) that is accessed via a browser from within a hosting application. In aspects, authentication of a user identity is required to access an embedded web asset. In particular, an identity management module is provided on a rich client. The identity management module is configured to maintain multiple credentials for multiple user identities that are associated with multiple applications, whether the applications are embedded applications or hosting applications. In this way, a user may access multiple applications, including embedded web assets, associated with each user identity—without signing into each application. That is, a user is able to login a single time for each user identity.

Abstract: Freeform input is not native to several application or document types, but is desired by users as an input mode, especially for collaboration. Systems and methods are therefore provided to enable the insertion of an electronic collaboration workspace that accepts and stores freeform input for use as an object embeddable in various documents. An external host application provides the functionalities needed for freeform input, and the inputs may be committed to the document or stored as a separate document which may be referenced and accessed by multiple users for purposes of collaboration.

Abstract: A non-limiting example method includes receiving a request to publish content that is stored on a user storage server in a personal data store. The method includes preparing the content for publication and moving the prepared content to a content repository to generate published content. The method includes receiving a request to make a personal copy of the published content and making a copy of the published content in a personal data store in a user storage server. The copy is independently editable of the published content. A non-limiting example system includes an application programming interface that includes a publish command to generate a published copy of a specified first content stored in a first personal data store in a content repository, and a retrieve command that generates a personal copy of a specified second content stored in the content repository in a second personal data store.

Abstract: Discussion evaluation may be provided. First, an assignment page including an evaluation link may be displayed and a user initiated input corresponding to the evaluation link may be received. Next, an evaluation view may be displayed in response to the received user initiated input. The displayed evaluation view may comprise an evaluation assistant data section and a raw discussion data section. Evaluation data may then be received in response to the displayed evaluation view.

Abstract: A method for orchestrating various applications is described herein. A request to store a context information regarding a document may be received. An application in which the document is modified may be determined. The context information may be requested from the application. The context information may be stored. A request to recall the context information may be received. The context information may be displayed on a computer screen.
