Abstract: A method on a client device is described. First document content information that corresponds to a first plurality of document elements of an electronic document is received from a data server. A graphical user interface that represents the first plurality of document elements is generated based on the first document content information. First author identifiers that indicate most recent authors for the first plurality of document elements are received. The first document content information and the first author identifiers correspond to a first timestamp. Visual identifiers for the first author identifiers are selected based on the graphical user interface. The visual identifiers are generated to indicate which of the first author identifiers correspond to the first plurality of document elements represented by the graphical user interface.

Abstract: A method for gating data between workspaces involves a first computing device receiving, from a first user via a second computing device, a request to share a set of data with a second user; copying the set of data from a first data structure to a second data structure; receiving, from the second user via a second computing device, a request to display the set of data; in response to the request from the first user and the request from the second user, displaying the set of data on the third computing device, wherein the displayed set of data includes a value; receiving, from the first user via the second computing device, an update of the value; receiving, from the second user via the third computing device, an acceptance of the update; and displaying the updated value in place of the value on the third computing device.
