Abstract
Additional document information may be stored through change tracking. In some examples, an application, such as a document processing application, may allow collaborative creation and/or editing of a document. As individual collaborators enter new content or make changes to existing content, the new content and/or changes go through two phases. As an individual collaborator is editing, the change is temporary. The collaborator may decide not to integrate it to the document. The temporary content may become permanent or integrated through a save action (manual or automatic). In some examples, the temporary content may be shared with other collaborators through a scheme to indicate its status as temporary giving the collaborators a true collaboration experience.
