Abstract
A collaboration system can be configured to support a large number of active clients in a workspace where the workspace is distributed into disparate groups of objects. While participating in the workspace, a first active client can configure their viewport to follow the viewport of a second active client. This configuration synchronizes the first active client's viewport with the second active client's viewport, including a translation or a zoom of the second active client's viewport. The system can be configured so that the second active client is informed that it is being followed by the first active client.
