Patent number: 10642927Abstract: An out-space actuator is selected to access an out-space user interface for a document editor program. An out-space actuator is associated with an in-space user interface having a displayed document. When the out-space actuator is selected, an out-space user interface is displayed that includes an expanded feature selection surface. The out-space user interface may be used to display one or more status panes for providing status information about a document being edited in the in-space user interface. Application features for affecting changes to a given document's status may be exposed in the out-space interface in proximity to associated status information. An out-space communication user interface (UI) component may be temporarily displayed in the document in-space user interface to communicate document status information that is presently available in the out-space user interface. A message bar may be displayed in the in-space user interface for communicating information from the out-space user interface.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 2017Date of Patent: May 5, 2020Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Marina Dukhon, Jonathan Ian Gordner, Jesse Clay Satterfield, Navjot Singh, Maria Fernandez Trevino, Amy E.
