Updating user-specific instances of a second application for individual users of a group based on a data file for the second application being shared via a collaboration object that corresponds to the group within a first application. The instances of the second application present each individual user with their own custom user experience that is configured to provide access to specific content based on object permissions data. An application extension is executable, by the first application, to extend content editing functionalities of the second application into the collaboration object. Responsive to specific content being associated with the collaboration object via the application extension, each of the instances of the second application may be automatically updated to provide direct access to the specific content. Thus, each user within the group defined for collaboration object can access the data file via the collaboration object and their own instance of the second application.

Updating user-specific application instances based on collaborative object activity

The automated generation of a web site preview based on a web site identifier, where the web site preview has one or more controls that facilitate connection to one or more endpoints. In response to receiving the web site identifier from the client computing system, the service uses the web site identifier to navigate to the web site identified by the web site identifier. After navigating to that web site, the service accesses an action identifier and an associated endpoint identifier from the web site. The service then generates preview data representing a preview of the web site represented by the web site identifier. The service provides the preview data to the client, where the preview with the control is rendered, so as to facilitate connection with the associated endpoint of the control.

Web site preview generation with action control

The generation of a web site preview based on client presentation state of the client that will render the web site preview. Upon a service receiving a request to provide preview data for a web site preview corresponding to a web site identifier, the service determines client presentation state of the client(s) that is or are to render a web site preview using preview data that is to be provided in response to the request. The service selects a preview template at least in part based on the determined client presentation state. The service also populates the selected preview template with content from the web site to thereby generate preview data representing a preview of the web site identified by the web site identifier. The preview data is thus tailored to the presentation state of the client.

Techniques for casting electronic content, including identifying, at a first time, a first action by a user of a presenter device affecting rendering of a content item casted to a target device; determining that the presenter device is in a first casting mode at the first time; based on the presenter device being in the first casting mode at the first time, changing a rendering of the content item by the target device by causing the first action to be reported in real-time to the target device; identifying, at a second time, a second action by the user that affects a rendering of the content item; determining that the presenter device is in a second casting mode at the second time; and determining that the second action will not be reported to the target device based on the presenter device being in the second casting mode at the second time.
