Abstract
A collaborative content management system allows users to make revisions to a collaborative content item by previewing revision suggestions without applying changes the underlying collaborative content item. The user can select a portion of the collaborative content item for revision, and modify the selected portion via a user interface. When the user interface is selected, revisions are visible to a user in place of the selected text span; when the user interface is not selected, the original text span is once again displayed. This allows a user to toggle between versions of a collaborative content item. If a user approves a suggested revision, the user can select an approval instruction causing a selected text span to be replaced by revisions made via the user interface. If a user rejects a suggested revision, the user can select a rejection instruction and the selected text span remains within the collaborative content item.
