Abstract
A method of resolving mutations in a partially-loaded spreadsheet model includes loading onto a client computer a first chunk of a spreadsheet stored on a server, where the first chunk represents a first range of cells in the spreadsheet, and requesting a second chunk of the spreadsheet from the server, where the second chunk represents a second range of cells in the spreadsheet. The method further includes storing a plurality of pending user mutations on the client computer generated by a user on the client computer, where the plurality of pending user mutations are applied to the first chunk, and receiving from the server a plurality of collaborator mutations and the second chunk. The method further includes transforming the plurality of pending user mutations against the plurality of collaborator mutations, and applying the transformed plurality of pending user mutations to the second chunk.
