In an application execution system having a plurality of application servers, each application server stores a plurality of applications, and has computational resources for executing applications in response to received requests. Each application server also includes instructions for loading a respective application into volatile storage and executing the application in response to a request from a client, and for returning a result. A generic application instance may be cloned, creating a pool of generic application instance clones that can be loaded with code for a requested application to produce an application instance. The application instance can then be stored in a cache to be used for a future application request.

Application hosting in a distributed application execution system

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.

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.

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 slide grid snapping for presentations slides in a cloud collaboration platform. An embodiment operates by displaying a slide made up of rows and columns of pixels, receiving inputs to select and move an object, interpreting the movement, based on proximity to particular rows and columns, places the object along the particular row and column of pixels, and rendering the resulting slide. By serializing and coordinating design actions using the slide grid, the ease of design and the efficiency of the user experience may be enhanced. The grid system further allows users to comment anywhere in the document, associating those comments with objects or layers, and adjusting or moving the comments in response to grid-based actions.

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 an insights panel for presentations slides in a cloud collaboration platform. An embodiment operates by loading a presentation and an account associated with the presentation, determining view status for the slide, comment status for the slide, total number of comments on the presentation, and percentage of engagement and displaying the presentation with an insights tab that includes this information. The creator of a presentation may view a comprehensive summary of edits made to the presentation, comments made to the presentation, and views of the presentation; see the users that were given access to the slide presentation and a level of engagement on an individualized basis; and benefit by seeing a level of engagement among the users over time.
