Abstract: A facility for managing the displayed documents by an application is described. The facility displays a plurality of tabs each corresponding to a document loaded by the application. The facility receives a document stowing command in connection with a distinguished document to which one of the displayed tabs corresponds. For each of the documents to which a displayed tab corresponds, based on the contents of the document, the facility semantically determines one or more subjects of the distinguished document. At least in part in response to receiving the document stowing command in connection with the distinguished document, for each of two or more subjects determined for the distinguished document, the facility displays a visual indication of the determined subject. The facility receives user input selecting one of the displayed visual indications. The facility hides the tabs corresponding to the documents for which the subject indicated by the selected visual indication was semantically determined.

Abstract: Techniques are described for receiving annotations in a fixed digital document on a first computing device and streaming them to multiple other computing devices that are connected to the first computing device using a peer-to-peer network. For example, a session may be established between the first computing device and a plurality of the other computing devices. Annotations may be received at the first computing device and streamed to the multiple other computing devices using the peer-to-peer network. For example, the annotations may include highlighting text in the fixed digital document, or electronic ink annotations made at a given location within the fixed digital document. These annotations may be streamed to the other computing devices in real-time, or at regular intervals, without requiring a cloud connection and without the need to save, close, and/or reopen the fixed digital document for the annotations to be received by the other computing devices.

Abstract: Methods and devices for searching annotations in a document may include receiving a search request with at least one requested annotation classification to search for in a document. The methods and devices may include performing a search of the document for one or more annotations in the document matching the at least one annotation classification. The methods and devices may include generating a search result list with the one or more annotations in the document matching the at least one annotation classification. The methods and devices may include presenting the search result list.
