Non-limiting examples of the present disclosure relate to service-backed generation and management of digital ruled paper templates in an exemplary application/service such as a notetaking service. As an example, access to a user account of a notetaking service is detected. A digital context associated with the user account is evaluated. An evaluation of the digital context comprises identifying user identity data associated with the user account and analyzing domain specific data of the notetaking service that corresponds with the identified user identity data. The domain specific data may comprise data identifying a specific electronic notebook of the notetaking service. A customized listing of digital ruled paper templates is populated based on an evaluation of the digital context. The customized listing of digital ruled paper templates is transmitted to the client computing device, which surfaces the customized listing of digital ruled paper templates in a user interface of the notetaking service.

Methods and systems are provided that enable single sign-on (SSO) mechanisms on rich clients running hosting applications that include documents with one or more embedded web assets. An embedded web asset may be any resource (e.g., document, image, data, etc.) that is accessed via a browser from within a hosting application. In aspects, authentication of a user identity is required to access an embedded web asset. In particular, an identity management module is provided on a rich client. The identity management module is configured to maintain multiple credentials for multiple user identities that are associated with multiple applications, whether the applications are embedded applications or hosting applications. In this way, a user may access multiple applications, including embedded web assets, associated with each user identity&#x2014;without signing into each application. That is, a user is able to login a single time for each user identity.

Freeform input is not native to several application or document types, but is desired by users as an input mode, especially for collaboration. Systems and methods are therefore provided to enable the insertion of an electronic collaboration workspace that accepts and stores freeform input for use as an object embeddable in various documents. An external host application provides the functionalities needed for freeform input, and the inputs may be committed to the document or stored as a separate document which may be referenced and accessed by multiple users for purposes of collaboration.
