Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for providing a security model to customizable live applications in a cloud collaboration platform. The security approach may dedicate a frame to each live application, serving the frame from a different domain than a document in which the live application is embedded. This approach ensures that more stringent security requirements may be required of the live application and allows the data presented to the live application to be narrowly tailored. The security model may further leverage sandbox attributes and content-security policies to restrict the behavior of sandboxed and non-sandboxed live applications in accordance with best security practices.

Security model for live applications in a cloud collaboration platform

Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for improving user experiences within a cloud collaboration platform that integrates communication tools with word processor functions to enhance workflows, save time, and promote teamwork in the development of slide presentations. To improve usability, a cloud collaboration platform may furnish a reader mode to streamline the presentation review process. The reader mode may allow viewers to review the presentation as the presentation will eventually be presented to an audience. The viewers may provide comments and feedback on the presentation without being inundated with comments and metadata added to an edit mode of the presentation by the original authors.

Reader mode for presentation slides in a cloud collaboration platform

Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for providing offline capabilities to customizable live applications in a cloud collaboration platform. The cloud collaboration platform may provide offline functions and a data application programming interface to devices connecting to the cloud collaboration platform. The offline capabilities allow devices to store data related to documents and customizable live applications in a local cache. The offline capabilities retrieve data from and store modifications to data within the local cache. The cloud collaboration platform may subsequently process the changes and determine if conflicts arise, resolving conflicts where appropriate and possible. The cloud collaboration platform may then determine a final state for a record, return the final state to the devices, and update the local caches.

Offline capabilities for live applications in a cloud collaboration platform

Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for providing a data model application programming interface ('API') to customizable live applications in a cloud collaboration platform. The cloud collaboration platform provides data storage, a data model, and an API to embedded third-party live applications to allow the live applications to securely create, store, and access data within the cloud collaboration platform. The data model allows records stored in the cloud collaboration platform to sync independently, merge intelligently, and function offline.

Data model API for live applications in a cloud collaboration platform

Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for providing a rich text box to customizable live applications in a cloud collaboration platform. The rich text box component may extend styles and functions performed within a document editor in the cloud collaboration platform to customizable live applications. This extension ensures a consistent user experience where the behavior of text-editing in live application mirrors that of the standardized document editor. Additional functionality, such as mentions and auto-completions, may be performed by the rich text boxes embedded in a live application without adding to the code base of the live application, complicating design decisions, and/or circumventing the security requirements of a live application.

Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for providing a data model application programming interface to customizable live applications in a cloud collaboration platform. The cloud collaboration platform allows third-party live applications to securely create, store, and access data within the cloud collaboration platform. The data model allows records stored in the cloud collaboration platform to sync independently, merge intelligently, and function offline.

Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for providing a developer console to customizable live applications in a cloud collaboration platform. The developer console may support the software development lifecycle for third-party live applications deployed in the cloud collaboration platform in a myriad of fashions. The developer console may vet live applications prior to deployment, provide release and version control mechanisms, and offer a range of configuration options to control third-party live applications. The developer console may provide an initial bundle to developers that include supporting functions and modules enabling the developer to run a development environment on a local server as a local platform. A developer console may allow developers to configure access to third-party data sources that may be harnessed by a live application.
