Abstract
Real-time co-authoring and support for the collaborative process is enabled by making it easy to initiate a collaborative document, to invite the proper people into the process, to collect existing artifacts, thoughts, and research, and then to divide and track the work to completion across a collaborating group. Monitored changes, comments, and similar input by the collaborating authors may be presented on demand or automatically to each author based on changes and/or comments that affect a particular author, that author's portion of collaborated content, type of changes/comments, or similar criteria Real-time or sequential communication such as email, text messaging, and video chat, may be enabled to further optimize the collaboration process.
