A method includes providing, by a server computer, a shared workspace for facilitating collaborative work by a plurality of users with respect to a plurality of shared-access objects; obtaining real-time activity information describing ongoing actions currently being performed with respect to one or more of the shared-access objects; determining, based at least in part on the real-time activity information, whether a real-time notification rule is satisfied; outputting, for display in an activity stream and in response to determining that the real-time notification rule is satisfied, a real-time notification; and removing, from display in the activity stream, the real-time notification upon determining that the real-time notification rule is no longer satisfied.

Methods for real-time notifications in an activity stream

A method includes receiving a search request including a search input; and identifying a history information item based on the search input. The history includes information describing a prior state of an object. The method also includes determining whether information describing a current state of the object corresponds to the search input. The method includes outputting a prior-state based search result item that identifies the object and includes information based on the history information item. If the information describing the current state of the object corresponds to the search input, the method includes outputting a current-state based search result item that includes a link for accessing the object.

Methods for displaying object history information

A method includes receiving, at one or more server computers, an activity information request regarding an object; determining whether a user associated with the activity information request is currently authorized to access the object or was previously authorized to access the object; if the user is currently authorized to access the object, permitting unrestricted access to a plurality of activity information items describing actions associated with the object; and if the user was previously authorized to access the object, permitting access to a filtered set of activity information items based on the plurality of activity information items.
