A method may include receiving request from a first user via an application, for assistance with completion of a document within the application; determining expected characteristics of the completed document, the expected characteristics identifying: a plurality of tasks to be performed to generate the completed document; and a document value; performing a computer-implemented matching process to match the first user with a second user based on the plurality of tasks and document value; and configuring permissions of the application to allow collaborative editing within the application between the first user and second user to complete the document.

System for collaborative editing based on document evaluation

A method may include accessing user activity data with respect to performances of a feature within an electronic application by a user; calculating a similarity score for the user with respect to a level of proficiency for the feature based on the accessed user activity data; and based on the similarity score meeting a threshold value: updating a level of proficiency value in a user profile for the feature of the electronic application; and enabling the user to enter into a collaborative editing mode with another user to complete a document using the feature of the application.

System for classification based on user actions

A method may include maintaining in a database, a plurality of documentation content items for an application; receive, from a user, a request to modify a content item of the plurality of documentation content items, the content item associated with a feature of the application; accessing a rating of the user with respect to the feature; and based on the rating meeting a threshold: authorizing the user to modify the content item; receiving modifications to the content item from the user; and updating the content item in the database based on the modifications.

Metric-based content editing system

A method may include identifying a first set of objects that are part of a document, the document created by an application, and the first set of objects placed in the document by a first user; based on the first set of objects, determining an intent of the first user for the document; automatically adding, by the application, a second set of objects to the document according to the intent; and configuring permissions of the document to allow collaborative editing within the application between the first user and a second user to add a third set of objects to the document.

Machine learning using collaborative editing data

Remote sign-out of web based service sessions. As a part of remote sign-out of web based service sessions, a user authentication token is accessed that is used to establish a web based service session and this user authentication token is stored in memory of an authentication server and returned in a cookie to the device. User access and deletion of the user authentication token from memory is accommodated using a device different from that which initially established the web based service session. Upon receipt of a browser request involving the user authentication token, it is determined whether the user authentication token is stored in memory. An access denial indication is provided to a web based service that indicates that the user authentication token is not stored in memory.

In response to characters entered within a Find dialog box, a minifind window is dynamically updated to provide corresponding search strategies and quick matches from content search data that are being searched. The search strategies and quick matches that are listed are dynamically updated as the user inputs additional characters in the Find dialog box. At any time, the user can initiate a full text search to populate a search results pane, based upon the characters input, by selecting a Go control or pressing the Enter key. Alternatively, the user can select one of the quick matches or search strategies, to populate the search results pane with corresponding items obtained from the content search data, which are most likely to relate to the information desired by the user. This approach is applicable to finding information in almost any data accessed locally, or over a network.

Dynamically updated quick searches and strategies

When a search index is generated, it includes entries tagged with the readability of documents referenced by the search index. A determination of the readability is made if a document is not yet associated with a preexisting entry in the search index and is being added, by analyzing the document to produce a readability indicator. For example, the readability indicator can correspond to a grade level identifier, thereby enabling search index to be searchable by grade level, age, or age range. A grade level-based search request received from a user can be submitted to search this search index for documents limited to a specific grade or age readability. The search results that are returned are thus filtered in regard to the readability indicator associated with the documents in the search index.
