Abstract

Systems and methods for managing an inline conversation area within a document are provided. In example embodiments, a collaboration system causes presentation of a user interface displaying a document that is being collaboratively edited by a plurality of users. The collaboration system receives an indication to present an inline conversation area within the document. In response, the inline conversation area is displayed within the document on the user interface, whereby the inline conversation area is visually distinguished from content of the document. The collaboration system receives, via the inline conversation area, input from the plurality of users. The input comprises comments being exchanged between the plurality of users and draft content. The inputs are displayed in the inline conversation area within the document on the user interface.
