A collaborative working environment established by suitable computers operates on the principle that documents stored by particular computers can be served to other computers a page at a time. Then, on any particular computer, a graphical user interface can be managed by the user thereof according to his own needs. In reviewing a document, pages on-screen will be replaced as review proceeds. For a document hosted on the computer on which a page-turn request has been made, the page-turn request causes the computer to retrieve the relevant information from storage and change the representation on screen, and also to send the new page information to the other computers in the collaborative working environment. For a document hosted on another computer, the computer checks whether the new page data has already been transmitted thereto. If it has, then the computer uses this page data, if not, then it has to seek retrieval of the new page data from the hosting computer. Apparatus and methods are provided, said apparatus including a document store 104, local page store 106 for storing resultant information and a workspace manager 100 for constructing a GUI and sending page replacement information to other apparatus in the CWE. Apparatus is also provided with a document store 104, an incoming page store 110 for storing pages for display, and a workspace manager 100 for constructing a GUI and offering a user the selection of a page for display from the document store 104 and/or the incoming page store 110.
