A method and apparatus for document collaboration and management are disclosed. User devices associated with a user of a document management and collaboration system are identified. Documents associated with the user are downloaded to the user devices from the document management and collaboration system. A targeted denial of access to the downloaded documents is performed.

Remote access control for stored data

Organizations maintain and generate large amounts of documentation and entities of these organizations often need to collaborate on generating and reviewing this information. There is a need to maintain and store this documentation remotely in such a way that the entities of these organizations may collaborate with each other. To ensure that entities of the organization can collaborate on documents, an overlay creation and storage system is described. The overlay may be usable by a computing device operated by the entities of the organization. Furthermore, information contained in the overlay may be injected into the document.

Homogenous insertion of interactions into documents

A method and apparatus for controlling access to documents retained by a document management and collaboration system is disclosed. The document management and collaboration system may generate one or more suggested privileges associated with one or more users. An access control policy may specify whether system-generated user privileges may be enforced. If they are enforced, access to one or more document may be made subject to the generated privileges.

Access control for a document management and collaboration system

A method and apparatus for forming a collection of documents is disclosed. In the method and apparatus, a plurality of documents are identified for inclusion in a document collection. The documents are identified based at least in part on one or more attributes of at least one document of the plurality of documents. A user is requested to confirm the document collection, and an instruction is received from the user indicating one or more documents of the plurality of documents may be included in the document collection. After the indication is received, the collection may be formed and made available to the user or one or more other users of a document management and collaboration system.

Forming a document collection in a document management and collaboration system

An example method includes receiving an input via a computing device indicative of a request to display a plurality of visual identifiers, each visual identifier corresponding to a different respective version of a document stored in at least one remote document management system. The method also includes receiving information from the document management system, determining a chronological sequence associated with displaying the plurality of visual identifiers; and generating a respective visual identifier representative of each version of the document. The method also includes displaying the visual identifiers on a display of the computing device according to the chronological sequence.
