  • Publication number: 20150363378
    Abstract: An approach is provided for managing a display of document unit references. Units of an original version of a document and original references to the units are stored in nodes of a data structure. Responsive to an insertion of a new unit at a location in the document, a new node is inserted into the data structure at a corresponding location, or responsive to a deletion of a unit at the location in the document, a node is deleted from the data structure at the corresponding location. Unit(s) of the updated document resulting from the insertion or deletion are associated to respective original reference(s) in the data structure. During a conference between an editor and other participant(s), a display is generated and presented to the editor. The display includes the unit(s) of the updated document, current reference(s) to the unit(s), and the original reference(s) associated with the unit(s).
