A preview of dynamic effects in a document is provided. As a user scrolls through pages of a document, for example, slides of a slide presentation, a static representation of each page may be displayed in a main viewing area, and a dynamic view of any dynamic effects may be displayed in an inset preview pane. The preview pane may be provided in a corner of the main viewing area, and may display the dynamic effects in a loop or upon selection. Accordingly, a user may be able to scroll through a document without having to click through interactive content on a page, and concurrently may be informed of and have an opportunity to view the dynamic effects in a preview pane.

Dynamically-generated images sized according to a requesting web client application display resolution are provided. The client application may calculate a target display resolution and pass the target display resolution as an input parameter with a request to a server for application content. The server may use the desired size input parameter to determine an optimal image size for the target display resolution. The server may render the application content as one or more images to the optimal image size and send the rendered image(s) to the client application. A determination may be made by the client application to display the image(s) at the size received or to scale the server-provided image(s). If the available area in the client application pane changes, the client application may recalculate the target display resolution and issue a new request to the server with the new target display resolution as the desired size input parameter.

A first set of changes to a first version of a digital document, as compared to a baseline version of the document, can be detected. The first set of changes can include a first change to a page of the document in the first version of the document, as compared to the baseline version of the document. Also, a second set of changes to a second version of a document, as compared to the baseline version of the document, can be detected. The second set of changes can include a second change to the page of the document in the second version of the document, as compared to the baseline version of the document. A conflict between the first change and the second change can be detected, and the conflict can be resolved by receiving user input or applying conflict resolution rule(s) to choose between the first and second changes.
