A method to incorporate a first edit and a second edit into an electronic document includes receiving the first edit and the second edit having a shared position in the electronic document, and determining whether the second edit is privileged relative to the first edit. The method further includes responsive to determining that the second edit is not privileged relative to the first edit, requiring the second edit to be independently accepted prior to incorporating the second edit into the electronic document, and responsive to determining that the second edit is privileged relative to the first edit, incorporating the second edit into the electronic document without requiring the second edit to be independently accepted, and responsive to receiving an acceptance of the first edit, causing the first edit and the second edit to be incorporated into the electronic document.

Systems and methods for resolving privileged edits within suggested edits

Systems and methods are disclosed herein to present an incorporation of a second edit into a first edit in an electronic document. A method includes present the first edit and the second edit in the electronic document, the first edit and the second edit representing concurrent updates to the electronic document by multiple users comprising a first user and a second user and having different privilege levels, the first edit and the second edit having a shared position in the electronic document. The method also includes present one or more first graphical elements allowing the second user to select to accept or reject the first edit made by the first user, and present, based on respective privilege levels, the shared position and a selection of the second user to accept or reject the first edit made by the first user, the incorporation of the second edit into the first edit, and a second graphical element allowing the second user to view a plurality of display options for the electronic document with the second edit incorporated into the first edit. The method further includes present the plurality of display options allowing the second user to select one or more of a plurality of edits to the electronic document by the plurality of users, and one or more a plurality of types of edits by the plurality of users, the plurality of display options further allowing the second user to accept or reject selected one or more edits or selected one or more types of edits.

Systems and methods are disclosed herein for incorporating a second edit into a first edit in an electronic document. The first edit and the second edit in the electronic document are received, and a shared position of the first edit and the second edit in the electronic document is identified. The second edit is determined to be privileged relative to the first edit by determining that the first edit is made by a first user with a first set of permissions and the second edit is made by a second user with a second set of permissions larger than the first set of permissions. When the second edit is privileged relative to the first edit, the second edit is incorporated into the first edit.
