Machine learning, artificial intelligence, and other computer-implemented methods are used to identify various semantically important chunks in documents, automatically label them with appropriate datatypes and semantic roles, and use this enhanced information to assist authors and to support downstream processes. Chunk locations, datatypes, and semantic roles can often be automatically determined from what is here called 'context', to wit, the combination of their formatting, structure, and content; those of adjacent or nearby content; overall patterns of occurrence in a document, and similarities of all these things across documents (mainly but not exclusively among documents in the same document set). Similarity is not limited to exact or fuzzy string or property comparisons, but may include similarity of natural language grammatical structure, ML (machine learning) techniques such as measuring similarity of word, chunk, and other embeddings, and the datatypes and semantic roles of previously-identified chunks.

Systems, methods, and software are disclosed herein for presenting sensitive information in accordance with a level of concealment. In an implementation, an object is identified comprising text that includes sensitive information. A contextual privacy setting for the sensitive information and a context surrounding a presentation of the object is then identified. Based on the contextual privacy setting and the context surrounding the presentation of the object, a level of concealment for the sensitive information in the text is determined. The object comprising the text is then presented, wherein the sensitive information included in the text is revealed in accordance with the level of concealment.

A method for identifying a live ink presence for real-time collaboration can include assigning a presence identifier to a grouping of ink strokes in a shared inking canvas received from a particular user participating in a collaboration session; receiving a new ink stroke to the shared inking canvas from the particular user; and determining whether the new ink stroke is within a certain distance from previous ink strokes associated with the presence identifier. When the new ink stroke is not within the certain distance, the method includes assigning a new presence identifier the new ink stroke in the shared inking canvas, determining a location in the shared inking canvas for displaying a presence indicator, and displaying the presence indicator at the location; else, the method includes changing an existing location for a corresponding presence indicator according to a distance of the new ink stroke from the existing location.

Live ink presence for real-time collaboration

Systems and methods for creating and updating digital notes. One system includes an electronic processor configured to receive an electronic message from a user to an electronic messaging address, the electronic message including content and determine whether the electronic messaging address is associated with the user. In response to the electronic messaging address being associated with the user, the electronic processor is configured to automatically create a digital note including at least a portion of the content included in the electronic message. The electronic processor is also configured to receive a reply to the electronic message from the user and automatically update the digital note based on the reply.

Creating and updating digital notes via electronic messages

A live ink presence indicator is provided to identify what users created what content when multiple users do real-time collaboration within an application using digital ink. A presence manager determines a presence region for a user and a suggested location for rendering a presence indicator.

User interface layout is defined using constraints on the position and size of visual elements. Constraints may be explicit and/or implicit. Interactive design code helps designers create constraints without conflict or redundancy. The design code determines whether a proposed layout constraint is incompatible with established constraints, receives a designer's selection of an incompatible constraint, and displays user interface elements in previews of alternate layouts having different constraints. A designer can interactively explore possible resolutions of constraint incompatibilities as soon as the constraints are detectable. The design code animates a transition between possible layouts, highlights the incompatible constraints, and hides the compatible constraints. A subset of constraints may be shown, such as only the recently added constraints and closely related constraints.
