Systems and methods for managing user-specific modifications to shared content on an individual basis

摘要

System and methods for managing content modification messages are provided. In some embodiments, a request to send a modification message to a second user is received from a first user. The request to send the modification message pertains to a modification made to a first user-specific version corresponding to the first user and represented by a first delta. The modification message comprising a second delta is generated. The modification message includes second instructions to modify a second user-specific version to include the modification within the second user-specific version by resolving the first delta and the first user-specific version to the second user-specific version. A message indicator for the modification message is provides to a client device of the second user. The message indicator identifies the first user as the sender of the modification message.

主权项

1. A method of managing shared content on a server in a communications network, the method being performed by one or more processors of the server and comprising:
receiving a request to send a modification message from a computing device of a first user of a plurality of users in the communications network, wherein the request includes information identifying a first modification to a master copy of content stored by the server and a second user of the plurality of users to which the modification message is to be sent, wherein the first modification is attributed to a first user-specific version of the content, and wherein the first user-specific version of the content is associated with the first user; determining a second modification to the master copy of the content based on (i) the first modification to the master copy and (ii) a second user-specific version of the content, wherein the second user-specific version of the content is associated with the second user; transmitting the modification message, to a computing device of the second user, wherein the modification message includes information identifying the second modification to the master copy of the content and the first user as a sender of the modification message; receiving a response from the second user accepting or rejecting the second modification to the master copy of the content; and based on the response from the second user, selectively attributing the second modification to the second user-specific version of the content without modifying the first user-specific version of the content.
