Abstract: Draft message object collaboration in a group-based communication platform is described. A request to generate a message object can be received from a first client associated with a first entity of a group-based communication platform. A first instance of a composition user interface, configured to enable a draft of the message object to be generated, can be presented via the first client and a request to add a second entity as a collaborator can be received. A second instance of the composition user interface can be presented via a second client of the second entity. A modification to the draft of the message object can be received and, in response to receiving the modification, the message object can be updated as presented via respective instances of the composition user interface.

Abstract: An object interface for quick access to object(s) of a communication platform is described. Server(s) of the communication platform can receive, in association with a user interface of the communication platform, a request to associate an object with an object interface associated with a virtual space of the communication platform. The server(s) can cause one or more objects to be presented via the user interface and can receive a selection of a particular object from the one or more objects. The server(s) can cause, in response to the selection, a user interface element representative of the particular object to be associated with the object interface, wherein the user interface element is associated with an actuation mechanism that, when actuated, causes the particular object to be presented via the user interface. Notifications associated with the particular object can be indicated by annotation(s) to the user interface.

Abstract: A method includes detecting, by a computing device, activation of a link to content served by a remote server, and in response to detecting activation of the link, attempting to load a passive mixed content item from the computing device. The method also includes determining whether the passive mixed content item successfully loaded. The method further includes, in response to determining the passive mixed content item successfully loaded, accessing, using an application on the computing device, the content from the remote server. In addition, the method includes, in response to determining the passive mixed content item did not successfully load, accessing, using a web browser, the content from the remote server.

Abstract: Described herein is a computer implemented method comprising receiving a link to content served by a remote server, detecting activation of the link, and in response to detecting activation of the link attempting to load a passive mixed content item from a local web server. In response to determining the passive mixed content item successfully loaded the method further comprises extracting installed application information from the passive mixed content item, determining whether or not the installed application information indicates a relevant installed desktop application, and if so accessing the content referenced by the link from the remote application server using the relevant installed desktop application.

Abstract: Described herein is a computer implemented method comprising receiving a link to content served by a remote server, detecting activation of the link, and in response to detecting activation of the link, attempting to load, via a web browser application, a passive mixed content item from a local web server. If the passive mixed content item successfully loads, the method further comprises accessing the content referenced by the link from a remote application server using an installed dedicated desktop application, the dedicated desktop application configured to operate with the remote application server. If the passive mixed content item does not successfully load, the method further comprises accessing the content referenced by the link from a remote web server using the web browser application.
