Abstract
A method, at a computing device having one or more processors and memory storing programs for execution by the one or more processors, identifies a conversation including a plurality of participants. A sequence of edits to a content unit in a plurality of content units of the conversation is obtained from a first participant in the plurality of participants to produce a revised content unit. While a second participant of the plurality of participants is providing or editing a portion of the content unit, or viewing the portion of the content unit, the following conditions are imposed. When the second participant is a team member, the conversation is updated for the second participant with the revised content unit by providing the revised content unit to the second participant. When the second participant is a non-team member, updating the conversation for the second participant with the revised content unit is delayed.
