  • Publication number: 20200134002
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for providing a rich text box to customizable live applications in a cloud collaboration platform. The rich text box component may extend styles and functions performed within a document editor in the cloud collaboration platform to customizable live applications. This extension ensures a consistent user experience where the behavior of text-editing in live application mirrors that of the standardized document editor. Additional functionality, such as mentions and auto-completions, may be performed by the rich text boxes embedded in a live application without adding to the code base of the live application, complicating design decisions, and/or circumventing the security requirements of a live application.

  • Publication number: 20200133922
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for providing offline capabilities to customizable live applications in a cloud collaboration platform. The cloud collaboration platform may provide offline functions and a data application programming interface to devices connecting to the cloud collaboration platform. The offline capabilities allow devices to store data related to documents and customizable live applications in a local cache. The offline capabilities retrieve data from and store modifications to data within the local cache. The cloud collaboration platform may subsequently process the changes and determine if conflicts arise, resolving conflicts where appropriate and possible. The cloud collaboration platform may then determine a final state for a record, return the final state to the devices, and update the local caches.

  • Patent number: 10606576
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for providing a developer console to customizable live applications in a cloud collaboration platform. The developer console may support the software development lifecycle for third-party live applications deployed in the cloud collaboration platform in a myriad of fashions. The developer console may vet live applications prior to deployment, provide release and version control mechanisms, and offer a range of configuration options to control third-party live applications. The developer console may provide an initial bundle to developers that include supporting functions and modules enabling the developer to run a development environment on a local server as a local platform. A developer console may allow developers to configure access to third-party data sources that may be harnessed by a live application.

  • Publication number: 20200090125
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for an insights panel for presentations slides in a cloud collaboration platform. An embodiment operates by loading a presentation and an account associated with the presentation, determining view status for the slide, comment status for the slide, total number of comments on the presentation, and percentage of engagement and displaying the presentation with an insights tab that includes this information. The creator of a presentation may view a comprehensive summary of edits made to the presentation, comments made to the presentation, and views of the presentation; see the users that were given access to the slide presentation and a level of engagement on an individualized basis; and benefit by seeing a level of engagement among the users over time.

  • Patent number: 10592597
    Abstract: Described herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments providing color theme maintenance for presentations. An embodiment operates by receiving original content for placement on a first slide of a presentation. Additional content for placement on the first slide is received and it is determined that the original content and the additional content exceeds a content-threshold of the first slide. A second slide is created using a format of the first slide based upon the determining. The additional content and at least a portion of the original content is moved onto the second slide upon a completion of the creating.

  • Publication number: 20190005251
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for managing cloud-based document permissions. In an embodiment, a document generation system may generate and/or store a cloud-based document. The document generation system may also generate links to the cloud-based document. The generated links may be associated with different permissions. For example, a first link may allow a first client device accessing the first link to edit the document while a second link may allow a second client device accessing the second link to only view the document. Other permissions may also include generating distinct graphical user interfaces (GUIs) associated with different links. The GUIs may accept input messages and/or comments in a chat panel. The document generation system may facilitate the delivery of these input messages to other client device with document access.

  • Publication number: 20190004686
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for performing automatic layout of an object in a presentation slide. An embodiment operates by implementing a graphical user interface defining a plurality of layout segments on a presentation slide. The embodiment receives an object from a user via an input gesture. The embodiment determines the object is in a layout segment of the plurality of layout segments. The embodiment determines a layout rule based on the determined layout segment and a property of the object. The embodiment then modifies the object based on the determined layout segment. The embodiment outputs a layout result based on the presentation slide and the modified object.
