Abstract: Systems, methods, and software are disclosed herein for graphically organizing content in a user interface to a software application. A visual representations of data objects is presented on a canvas in the user interface. User input is received indicative of at least a visual construct for arranging the visual representations of the data objects on the canvas and criteria for arranging the visual representations of the data objects with respect to the visual construct. Data associated with each of the data objects that relates to the criteria is then identified. Each of the visual representations of data objects are placed on the visual construct based on the data related to the criteria.

Abstract: Non-limiting examples described herein relate to dynamic and intelligent transformation of a data object to a form that fits a context of a content portion in a receiving application/service. As an example, action(s), such as a drag and drop, is received through a user interface of a productivity service. The drag and drop drags a data object onto a content portion of a digital document. A context for the drag and drop is determined based on semantic analysis of the drag and drop. A composite data object is generated based on the determined context of the drag and drop. The composite data object comprises the content portion and a representation of the data object that alters presentation of the data object to fit a context of the content portion. The composite data object may be surfaced through the user interface.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and software are disclosed herein for indicating a change to content in a document to a user. A document is displayed in a user interface to an application. Content then is introduced into the document from a source external to the document. After the content has been introduced into the document, the source of the content is queried for any changes to the content at the source. If a change has occurred, an indication of the change to the content at the source is introduced in the document.

Abstract: Non-limiting examples of the present disclosure relate to fidelity management of an exemplary notecard item based on action(s) for movement that may re-locate notecard item(s) across any of: different content portions of a digital document, different digital documents of an application/service and digital documents of different applications/services. Specific data (and metadata) is collected and analyzed to enable determination of a level of fidelity for rendering of a notecard item, where a representation of a notecard item is generated to fit a context of a digital document in which the notecard item is being placed. A representation of a notecard item may be rendered at a first level of fidelity in one context but a different level of fidelity when the notecard item is moved to a different context. In other instances, evaluation of a notecard item yields a determination to maintain fidelity after an action that re-locates a notecard item.

Abstract: Non-limiting examples of the present disclosure relate to creation and management of exemplary notecard items that are reusable in different contexts and across different applications/services. Exemplary notecard items may be created and presented through a user interface of an application/service. A notecard item is individual, self-contained digital data object that provides content to supplement a digital document. Exemplary notecard items live outside of an application/service, in which the notecard item is created or used, where a notecard item may be linked to a digital document but also exists as a separate object. For instance, an exemplary notecard file may be created for management of a created notecard item, where the notecard file is stored in one or more data storages (e.g., a local cache of a computing device and/or a distributed data storage) that is accessible by applications/services.
