Abstract: A facility for managing an electronic document is described. The facility receives from a user input selecting a portion of the document, as well as input designating the selected document portion as being subject to approval-gated sharing. The facility persistently stores an indication that the selected document portion is subject to approval-gated sharing.

Abstract: A facility for annotating a visual representation of a document is described. The facility presents on a display device visual representations of two or more portions of a document. The facility further present on the display on the display, in connection with each of one or more of the presented document portion visual representations, an annotation conveying a result of aggregating information describing two or more search transactions in whose results the represented document portion is included.

Abstract: A facility for managing information about document-related activities is described. In some cases, the facility uses particular kinds of structures to represent, in a document graph, document-related activities performed by particular users. In some cases, the facility uses these structures to enable one user to subscribe to the document-related activities performed by another user. In some cases, the facility uses these structures to aggregate document-related activities performed by users in a group of users, such as by aggregating topics that are addressed by documents that are the subject of these document-related activities. In some cases, the facility uses particular kinds of structures to represent, in a document graph, tasks that certain users either can help with or need help with. In some cases, the facility uses these structures to match users that can help with a task with users that need help with a task.

Abstract: A facility for reporting on a corpus of documents is described. The facility receives a user-specified search query. In response to the receiving, among documents in the corpus, the facility identifies a proper subset that have each (1) been modified in a manner relevant to the search query (2) at a recent time. For each of at least a portion of the identified documents, the facility causes to be presented information describing the document.

Abstract: A facility for providing configurable access to a document's history is described. The facility receives input specifying one or more revisions to a document. The facility causes to be stored a representation of at least a portion of the revisions. When the facility receives a request to materialize the document for a particular entity, the facility materializes the document in a manner that includes any of the represented revisions only if the entity is among an authorized class of entities.

Abstract: A facility for annotating portions of a document shown in a visual representation of the document with annotations reflecting aggregated document activities performed with respect to the portions is described. The facility specifies a visual representation of at least part of the document. For each of at least two portions of the document that are not identical and that are represented in the specified visual representation, the facility attaches to locations in the document's visual representation corresponding to the portion a visual annotation reflecting an aggregation operation against document activities performed with respect to the portion.

Abstract: A content graph data structure representing at least a portion of a document is provided. The data structure includes a first node containing contents authored by a first user. The data structure further includes a second node specifying a proposed edit to the contents of the first node proposed by a second user distinct from the first user, the second node being connected to the first node using an edge of a first type, the edge of the first type connoting that the edit specified by the second node is proposed for the first node, such that the data structure is accessible to identify the second node as specifying an edit proposed for the first node.

Abstract: A facility for interacting with an electronic document is described. The facility causes to be displayed a visual representation of the document, and receives input representing a painting interaction with a portion of the displayed visual representation of the document that corresponds to a portion of the document. In response to receiving the first input, the facility imposes on the corresponding portion of the document a distinguished content classification level.

Abstract: A facility for performing contingent redaction of one or more portions of a document is described. The facility receives a request to materialize an identified document that identifies an entity for which the identified document is to be materialized. For a portion of the document identified by the request, the facility retrieves a criterion that must be satisfied to include the portion in a materialization of the document identified by the request. The facility evaluates the criterion for the entity identified by the request with respect to a present time. The facility causes the document identified by the request to be materialized for the entity identified by the request in a manner consistent with the result of the evaluation.

Abstract: A facility for procuring feedback on a document on behalf of an author of the document is described. The facility receives first input originated by the author usable to identify prospective reviewers. The facility obtains feedback on the document from each of a first group of the identified prospective reviewers. The facility causes a representation of the obtained feedback to be presented to the author, and receives second input originated by the author indicating that additional feedback is needed. In response to receiving the second input, the facility obtains feedback on the document from each of a second group of identified prospective reviewers that is distinct from the first group.

Abstract: A content graph data structure representing at least a portion of a document is provided. The data structure includes a first node containing contents authored by a first user. The data structure further includes a second node specifying a proposed edit to the contents of the first node proposed by a second user distinct from the first user, the second node being connected to the first node using an edge of a first type, the edge of the first type connoting that the edit specified by the second node is proposed for the first node, such that the data structure is accessible to identify the second node as specifying an edit proposed for the first node.

Abstract: A facility for visualizing document information is described. The facility causes to be displayed content of a document. Concurrently with the document content, the facility causes to be displayed a document information visualization area, the displayed document information visualization area including, for each of one or more categories of document interactions, a visual indication of a set of result values aggregated from individual document interaction events of the category.
