Abstract
Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for shared electronic documents are disclosed. The systems and methods may involve enabling access to an electronic word processing document including blocks of text, wherein each block of text has an associated address; accessing at least one data structure containing block-based permissions for each block of text, and wherein the permissions include at least one permission to view an associated block of text; receiving from an entity a request to access the electronic word processing document; performing a lookup in the at least one data structure to determine that the entity lacks permission to view at least one specific block within the electronic word processing document; and causing to be rendered on a display associated with the entity, the electronic word processing document with the at least one specific block omitted from the display.
