System and methods are directed to displaying interactive content with static content in a user interface of an application. More specifically, it may be determined that an interactive component is to be rendered in a user interface of a first application, where the user interface includes static content. In response to determining that the interactive component is it be rendered, at least one linking parameter may be determined for linking the interactive component with interactive content stored in a shared storage. Based on the at least one linking parameter, the interactive component may be rendered in the user interface of the first application in-line with the static content of the user interface of the first application. Changes to the interactive content made by a second user of a second application may then be updated within the interactive component rendered in the user interface of the first application.

Interactive components for user collaboration

The present disclosure is directed to automated notification generation, where a generated notification comprises a live representation of a content update that is linked and synchronized with a distributed collaborative canvas (or other source content) comprising the content portion which is being updated. A non-limiting example of a content update is a message notification, such as an at-mention (@mention), that is included inline within a content portion. Other triggers for automated notification generation are also described. Generation of an exemplary notification comprises a contextual relevance analysis that not only selects, for a recipient of the message notification, a specific host application/service endpoint to present the notification in but also determines how/what specific content to present inline within the selected host application/service endpoint. The notification is automatically generated and provided to a selected host application/service endpoint for rendering of the notification inline with content of the host application/service endpoint.

Automated notification of content update providing live representation of content inline through host service endpoint(s)

Non-limiting examples of the present disclosure enable creation and management of representations of content through the execution of copy actions, paste actions or a combination thereof. An indication of a copy action is received that copies a content portion. The copy action is analyzed to generate a (live) representation of the content portion. Other examples of representations are also generatable including a static representation and/or a live non-editable representation. As an example, a live representation is an editable and synchronized representation of the content portion that is synchronized with original source content. The live representation comprises a selectable data link that links back to the original source content and an editable representation of the content portion. In response to receiving an indication of a paste action, the live representation of the content portion is automatically rendered inline within a graphical user interface of a host application/service endpoint.
