Tools and techniques are described for automatically capturing and maintaining versions of documents. These tools may provide methods that include receiving documents from a server, and receiving indications of revisions to the documents at client systems. The methods may also automatically determine whether to capture representations of states of the documents before entry of the revisions, in the absence of explicit user commands to capture these representations.

Automatically capturing and maintaining versions of documents

A software application window shows current content in a content region and navigation information in a plurality of navigation regions, with the navigation regions showing contextual information for the current content, as well as for related content. A request to hide navigation information is received, and navigation information for related content is hidden from the window. Any space made available by the hidden content is used to expand the content region, while maintaining the same size and location of the software application window.
