Abstract: Methods, systems, apparatuses, and computer-readable storage mediums are described for rendering document changes. A first document is rendered in a client user interface (UI) based at least on a first intermediate format representation obtained from a server. A change initiator receives a request for a change to the first document and transmits information indicative of the change to the server. A client renderer selectively modifies a portion of the first intermediate format representation at the client based on the change and renders a modified first document in the UI based at least on the modified first intermediate format representation. The client renderer obtains a second intermediate format representation from the server, where the second intermediate format representation comprises an intermediate format representation generated through processing an updated document definition. The client renderer renders the second document in the UI based at least on the second intermediate format representation.
