  • Patent number: 9571595
    Abstract: To employ presence-based history information in conjunction with a notebook application, presence information for one or more users associated with a notebook application is determined from a variety of presence services. One or more interactions of the users are tracked in conjunction with a location within the notebook to record history information associated with the one or more users. The history information may be presented to the users through a user interface in conjunction with a location within the notebook application or through a separate user interface. The presented history information may include the recorded history information and statistical information based on the recorded history information. The users may interact with the user interface to employ the presented presence-based history information in conjunction with contents of the notebook application. For example, replay of user interactions in conjunction with a location within the notebook application may be enabled.
