Methods, systems, and devices supporting managing a data processing flow are described. A device (e.g., an application server) may host a cloud-based collaboration application, such as an interactive document application. The device may receive an instance of a data processing flow for a flow application based on a first user input to the cloud-based collaboration application. The device may receive the instance of the data processing flow from a source device hosting the flow application. The device may embed the flow application in the cloud-based collaboration application. The device may then receive user inputs to the data processing flow from multiple users collaborating on the same flow in the cloud-based collaboration application. Based on the user inputs, the device may modify the instance of the data processing flow and transmit the modified instance back to the source device to synchronize the data processing flow in the flow application.

Building collaborative data processing flows

Methods and systems are provided for implementing session synchronization to synchronize applications at different user systems (e.g., mobile device, laptop, desktop, tablet) of a particular user. This platform level solution can maintain session information received any number of different user systems of the particular user and share this collective session information with each of the other user systems as session-synchronization information that can be used, at any user system of that user, to ensure that when that user switches from using one user system to another user system that applications at the 'new' user system being switched to are synchronized with any other applications that were most recently in use at all of the other user systems of that user.

Methods and systems for session synchronization and sharing of applications between different user systems of a user

Methods and systems are provided for implementing session synchronization to synchronize applications at different user systems (e.g., mobile device, laptop, desktop, tablet) of a particular user. As will be explained in greater detail below, this platform level solution that can maintain session information received any number of different user systems of the particular user and share this collective session information with each of the other user systems as session-synchronization information that can be used, at any user system of that user, to ensure that when that user switches from using one user system to another user system that that applications at the 'new' user system being switched to are synchronized with any other applications that were most recently in use at all of the other user systems of that user.
