Abstract: A method for providing applications for use within collaborative documents includes storing, on a cloud computing service, a collaborative document accessible by a plurality of collaborators and a plurality of modular applications for a document editing application used by the plurality of collaborators to view the collaborative document, where the plurality of modular applications are usable within the collaborative document. The cloud computing service receives a request from a first collaborator in the plurality of collaborators to activate the use of a first modular application in the plurality of modular applications within the collaborative document, and activates the use of the first modular application within the collaborative document, where the first modular application executes on the cloud computing service and each of the plurality of collaborators may use the first modular application within the collaborative document.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed herein for providing a preview of an editor action related to a suggested edit of an electronic document. A first user provides a suggested edit to the electronic document, and the suggested edit to the electronic document is displayed to a second user of the electronic document. The second user provides a user input that is indicative of a desire to preview a result of the editor action on the suggested edit, such as an acceptance or a rejection of the suggested edit. Then, before the second user performs the editor action, a preview of the result of the editor action is provided to the second user in response to detecting the user input.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes providing, from a server including one or more processors, a user interface element to a first computing device, wherein the first computing device is associated with a user, and the server determines that the user is associated with a second computing device that is a mobile computing device having a digital display and is logged into an account at both the first and second computing devices. The method further includes receiving a user request for a rendering of a document issued by the first computing device upon selection of the user interface element by a user, and transmitting a command to the second computing device that causes the second computing device to automatically display the rendering of the document. The method further includes receiving and storing annotation information corresponding to one or more annotations to the rendering made at the second computing device.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed herein for incorporating a second edit into a first edit in an electronic document. The first edit and the second edit in the electronic document are received, and a shared position of the first edit and the second edit in the electronic document is identified. The second edit is determined to be privileged relative to the first edit by determining that the first edit is made by a first user with a first set of permissions and the second edit is made by a second user with a second set of permissions larger than the first set of permissions. When the second edit is privileged relative to the first edit, the second edit is incorporated into the first edit.
