Abstract: Systems and methods for editing electronic documents in collaborative environment are described. In one implementation, a document collaboration system comprises a processor, and a scheduling module, coupled to the processor. The scheduling module receives request of a user for either one of collaborative editing and collaborative reviewing a section of the electronic document during a schedule time selected by the user. The scheduling module further retrieves a schedule from the user from an electronic calendar of the user. The scheduling module ascertains the electronic document availability in the selected schedule time slot. On ascertaining the availability of the electronic document during the selected time slot, the scheduling module determines availability of users in the selected schedule time slot.

Abstract: Provided is a method of integrating a document related communication with a document. A communication interface is provided for a user to establish a document related communication with another user. The document related communication with another user is recorded and a link to the recorded document related communication with another user is provided with the document.

Abstract: Disclosed are techniques pertaining to the creation of a social document through a collaboration. A server executing a social document management application may create a document comprised of content. The social document management application may also create an adhoc workflow process associated with the document in which the workflow process includes steps to create the content of the document. Collaborators may be assigned to work on the steps of the workflow process. In addition, tasks associated with the steps of the workflow process may be assigned to the collaborators and tracked. The tasks may be assigned by selecting content directly within the document and assigning a task pertaining to the selected content. The steps of the workflow process may then be approved.

Abstract: Provided is a method of displaying a context menu. A triggering event related to selection of an object on a computing device is recognized. A direction observed during the selection of the object is recognized. A context menu based on the direction observed during the selection of the object is displayed.
