  • Publication number: 20240143905
    Abstract: A method for partially publishing edits to a document is described. A first document including a first cell and a second cell is displayed on first user account on a first computing device and on a second user account. A second document including a linked version of the first cell and a linked version of the second cell is displayed. An edit of the first cell is received from the first user account and an edit of the second cell is received. In response to receiving an indication from the first user account that the edit of the first cell is to be published, the edit of the first cell is made to the linked version of the first cell, while the linked version of the second cell is unchanged so that the content of the linked version of the second cell no longer matches that of the second cell.

  • Patent number: 11966333
    Abstract: Systems and methods of the present disclosure enable intelligent dynamic caching of data by accessing an activity history of historical electronic activity data entries associated with a user account, and utilizing a trained entity relevancy machine learning model to predict a degree of relevance of each entity associated with the historical electronic activity data entries in the activity history based at least in part on model parameters and activity attributes of each electronic activity data entry. A set of relevant entities are determined based at least in part on the degree of relevance of each entity. Pre-cached entities are identified based on pre-cached entity data records cached on the user device, and un-cached relevant entities from the set of relevant entities are identified based on the pre-cached entities. The cache on the user device is updated to cache the un-cached entity data records associated with the un-cached relevant entities.
