Abstract
An application automatically saves drafts of a document in association with the document. Drafts are saved, for example, whenever the application closes the document. Thus, the application stores a separate draft of the document for each session in which the document was used. The saved drafts are logically associated with each other and their original document. Because of this association, whenever the user accesses the document in the application, the application may present to the user a list of the various drafts of the documents. The user may continue working on the last saved draft, or the user may select another draft from which to continue working. The application further includes a collaborative interface for listing objects at a server. The server pushes new changes or additions to the objects directly to the client, and the client updates the interface accordingly, without user intervention.
