Abstract: Systems and methods for enabling the real-time sharing of document edits are disclosed herein. Documents being edited may use backing stores that are not originally compatible to share edits in a coauthoring environment and thus require additional attention before coauthoring edits can be shared in real-time. The systems and methods described may provide for the analysis of high level functions within the document editor to determine the underlying activities. Both the high level functions and underlying activities may be analyzed to determine whether it is safe to implement the changes they represent in real-time on an endpoint. When it is determined that the changes are safe to implement, the changes will be implemented and further real-time edits will be shared. When it is determined that the edits are not safe to implement, real-time updates will be suspended until the next selected-time update, at which time real-time sharing will recommence.
