A system and model by which to manage edits to localized versions of base-language electronic content. The model determines the likelihood of whether a modification made to a document is substantive and should be propagated back to the base electronic content and assists users in identifying these edits. The proposed method can significantly improve workflow efficiency and allow users to feel more comfortable in the development and use of their electronic content across multiple authoring platforms.

Document editing models and localized content management

A system and method for performing role-based user annotation of product documentation is disclosed. The system identifies first and second roles for first and second users, respectively; causes, based on the first role, a first user interface to display on a first client device to receive a first input associated with the default document from the first user; creates a first layer of annotation on the default document based on the first input; receives a request to access the document from the second user; determines, based on the first and second roles, whether to merge the first layer of annotation to the default document for generating an output document; causes a second user interface to display the output document on a second client device; and causes the first input and the output document to be applied for document performance analysis associated with one or more entities.
