Abstract: Systems and methods may be used to display document critiques on a display device. A method may include receiving information including a document type of a document. The method may include determining a set of critiques for use with the document type, the set of critiques including a critique specific to the document type. The method may include providing, on a display, feedback within the document, including a visual indication on a user interface presenting the document, based on the set of critiques, for text within the document.

Abstract: The following disclosure provides a system that filters and batches changes to improve communication between an application and an add-in. In some embodiments, the application batches a threshold number of changes made to a section of content. Using a threshold regulates the rate of updates to the add-in. In some embodiments, changes can be filtered based on the type of change (e.g. text changes, style changes, etc.) or the type of input that caused the change (e.g. keyboard input, cut and paste command, etc.). Filtering changes can reduce traffic between the application and the add-in, preventing the add-in from being overwhelmed and improving application responsiveness.

Abstract: A system and method includes dividing content of an electronic document into components. A document type of the electronic document is identified by comparing a document score against a document type criterion, the document score being based on a combination of a component score of each of the components. A user interface provides an indication of the document type.

Abstract: A system and method includes receiving content of an electronic document having a document type, the content divided into components each having a unique identifier and selecting an extraction schema based on the document type, the extraction schema having a plurality of data categories. For each of the components, the extraction schema is applied to identify content of the component that corresponds to individual ones of the data categories and saving, with the processor, in an electronic data storage, in a record associated with the component, category metadata indicative of content of the component corresponding to the data categories. In response to obtaining the category metadata for each of the components, applying the extraction schema to the content metadata of each of the components and to the electronic document as a whole to determine document metadata. A user interface displays the document metadata on the user interface.

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.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and software are disclosed herein for indicating a change to content in a document to a user. A document is displayed in a user interface to an application. Content then is introduced into the document from a source external to the document. After the content has been introduced into the document, the source of the content is queried for any changes to the content at the source. If a change has occurred, an indication of the change to the content at the source is introduced in the document.

Abstract: Transfer of content between documents of different storage types is provided. Different versions of an endpoint (e.g., a productivity application) such as a mobile version and a desktop version, for example, may be enabled to process the same document and synchronize changes to the document content, even though the different versions or endpoints may use distinct formats for the same document.

Abstract: A system and method includes receiving an electronic document having content divided into components and, for each of the components, comparing content of the component with component content characteristics of a classification schema associated with a document type and storing, in an electronic data storage, in a record associated with the component, indications of the component content characteristics of the classification schema that are included in the component. Document content characteristics of the classification schema are compared with the content of the electronic document and storing, in the electronic data storage, in a record for the electronic document, indications of the document content characteristics of the classification schema that are included in the electronic document. The electronic document is identified as the document type based on the content characteristics of the records meeting a document type criteria.

Abstract: A system and method includes obtaining content extracted from an electronic document, the electronic document having a document type. At least some of the content is transmitted to an online social networking system based on the document type. A recommended content change is received from the online social networking system. A user interface dynamically displays the recommended content change concurrently with display of the electronic document as the electronic document is updated.

Abstract: Systems and methods for enabling the real-time sharing of document edits as rumored changes are disclosed herein. As an editor makes changes to a document being coauthored, those edits may be entered into the editor's copy as concrete changes that are incorporated into the copy's backing store, and may be shared as rumored changes to endpoints that are not incorporated into their backing stores. Rumored changes display the endpoint's real-time interpretation of an edit made by an editor, but are not incorporated as concrete changes until a save command occurs. By enabling the real-time display of edits as rumored changes, editing users can make edits naturally and endpoint users can see those edits being made with a reduced chance of corruption on the endpoint and lower network overhead and processing by the computing devices involved in the coauthoring environment.

Abstract: Additional document information may be stored through change tracking. In some examples, an application, such as a document processing application, may allow collaborative creation and/or editing of a document. As individual collaborators enter new content or make changes to existing content, the new content and/or changes go through two phases. As an individual collaborator is editing, the change is temporary. The collaborator may decide not to integrate it to the document. The temporary content may become permanent or integrated through a save action (manual or automatic). In some examples, the temporary content may be shared with other collaborators through a scheme to indicate its status as temporary giving the collaborators a true collaboration experience.

Abstract: Systems and methods for improving real-time coauthoring in a distributed environment without a central document manager are disclosed herein. Due to communication being non-instantaneous, the state of a document on an endpoint may differ from the state of the document on an editor at the time that an edit is made. The different states, however, may be reconcilable via a vector clock translation. Each coauthor may maintain an array of vector clocks to track the state of the document for each coauthor. The vector clocks may be included when transmitting indications of edits so that an endpoint in a modified state can translate the edit to comply with the modified state of the document. Translating edits enables more edits to be implement in real-time than otherwise possible in a distributed environment without a central document manager.
