Abstract: A collaborative information management program is provided, which supports interaction by an account with a plurality of chat rooms. The program is configured to establish or define a meta-room that aggregates content posted to a set of chat rooms of the plurality of chat rooms. The program provides instructions to display user interfaces that provide user functionality to view content in the meta-room and access chat rooms to interact therewith.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide for improved interoperable data management between a user-accessed software application and an embedded software application. In some contexts, a user-accessed application provides both its own functionality as well as enabling access to functionality of an embedded application. The embedded application is accessed via a data-driven connection that provides several technical advantages and addresses various data interoperability and persistence problems. In some embodiments, a user-accessed application may be configured to provide functionality of multiple embedded applications consistent with the innovations herein described.

Abstract: The disclosure is directed to systems and techniques for executing a documentation application displaying a graphical user interface having an editable field configured to receive textual input. The system receives a first portion of a textual input in the editable field, which includes a command character designating the first portion of the textual input as a link insertion command. The system receives a second portion of textual input in the editable field and, before entry of the textual input is complete, the system analyzes the second portion of the textual input to identify an external platform service. The system then accesses, using an application programming interface, first hosted data hosted by the external platform service. The first hosted data may be displayed in line with the textual input and used to generate a complete link path. Once complete, the link path is replaced with a selectable graphical object that is operable, when selected, to redirect the user to the external platform service.

Abstract: Described herein is a computer implemented method for operating a collaboration system to synchronize integrations installed on a client device with integrations stored by the collaboration system. The method comprises: receiving a synchronization request from the client device and, for a given integration included in the synchronization request: retrieving a system integration token and comparing a client integration token received in the request with the system integration token. Responsive to determining that the client and system integration tokens do not match, the method further comprises determining the client to be out of date with respect to the given integration and sending an integration update to the client device.

Abstract: Described herein is a computer implemented method for displaying a dynamic content item in a chat interface running on a client device. The method comprises receiving, from a collaboration platform, a dynamic content item descriptor which defines the dynamic content item and a content provider that is configured to provide dynamic data for the dynamic content item; receiving, from the content provider, dynamic data; and displaying the dynamic content item with the dynamic data in an area of the chat interface that is distinct from a messaging area of the chat interface.
