A method may include receiving user instrumentation data and code instrumentation data from at least one user computing device such that the user and code instrumentation data is associated with performance of a user action of an application. The user instrumentation data may include a name identification of the user action and an input type identification of the initiation of the user action. The method may include storing the user and code instrumentation data in a database. The method may include receiving a search query associated with a past user action made in the application. The method may include retrieving, from the database, a set of one or more user actions based on the search query. The method may include presenting a user interface that includes an abstracted representation of the retrieved set of user actions.

Instrumentation of user actions in software applications

Technologies are disclosed that help developers determine server resource usage caused by client application generated events. Embodiments may be employed while an application is under development to balance the benefit of a given event with an estimated cost to process the event once the application is deployed. One aspect of the present disclosure provides a telemetry application that receives application generated events and estimates a resource cost they cause to data collection servers. The resource cost may be based on historic data captured from similar or related events, as well as data about how often the event and related events are raised by the application.

Real time telemetry monitoring tool

A method may be performed to receive and store in a database user instrumentation data and code instrumentation data from a user computing device. The user and code instrumentation data may be associated with performance of a user action of an application. The user instrumentation data may include a name identification of the user action, an input type identification of the initiation of the user action, and context data of the user action as executed. The user instrumentation data may be stored as associated with a user identification. The method may also include receiving a request from a requesting computing device to identify at least one past user action of the user. In response to receiving the request, the method may include querying the database and providing results of the query to the requesting computing device.

Architecture that facilitates offline/online interaction with online collaboration documents or pages such as for wikis and/or notebooks. More specifically, for every proto link employed in a page, a unique object ID is provided. The client, whether online or offline, uses the object ID as the page's object ID when a target page is created at the time of resolving the associated proto link (e.g., when a user clicks on a proto link to navigate to the proto page). When an offline client connects to an online state, changes are synchronized (synced). All the pages created offline from the same proto link will have the same object ID and the content of the pages are then synced correctly under the same page ID and name.

Online/offline proto link behavior and proto page conflict resolution

Determining and applying format attributes associated with content in an electronic document that is cut or copied from an electronic document and pasted into the same or different electronic document. The determination may be based on the format attributes of the content within a region of an electronic document containing the cut or copied content and the format attributes of a region of content that includes the location where the cut or copied text may be pasted. Local formatting may be associated with the source region of content and the destination region of content. Direct, or emphasis formatting, may be associated with content that has been cut or copied.

Method and system for deriving and matching local formatting in an electronic document

Example systems, methods, and data structures are directed at synchronizing documents. One example data structure includes receiving a request from a first client to edit a document, and sending short-term check out metadata to the first client to begin an editing session. The data structure includes a plurality of cells and a plurality of data objects defining content of the document. Each data object is associated with one of the cells and has an object identifier that uniquely identifies the data object within the associated cell, and is configured to communicate with other cells and with objects within the associated cell. In addition, each of the cells is defined so that each other cell remains unaffected by changes to data objects of the cell.

Document synchronization over stateless protocols

An undo process performed on a data object includes selecting a stored prior state of the data object; comparing the stored prior state with the current state of the data object to determine differences between the stored prior state and the current state of the data object other than the effect of the undesired editing operation; and applying the differences to the stored prior state of the data object to obtain a new state of the data object. Each prior state of the data object corresponds to an effect of one of previously performed editing operations on the data object.

Selective undo of editing operations performed on data objects

Converting text may be provided. A user selectable element may be used to select a text. The selected text may include a first text within an electronic document and a second text within an image. The second text within the image may be converted to character information by receiving the image. The image may have image character information and an image type. An aspect of the received image may be adjusted based on the image type. Optical character recognition may be performed on the adjusted image to extract character information. The character information may include characters and corresponding location information for the characters. The extracted character information may be evaluated to improve the recognition quality of the extracted character information as compared to the image character information.

Image text to character information conversion

Tools and techniques are described for automatically capturing and maintaining versions of documents. These tools may provide methods that include receiving documents from a server, and receiving indications of revisions to the documents at client systems. The methods may also automatically determine whether to capture representations of states of the documents before entry of the revisions, in the absence of explicit user commands to capture these representations.

Automatically capturing and maintaining versions of documents

Tools and techniques are described for merging versions of documents using multiple masters. These tools may provide methods that include syncing a first peer system with at least a second peer system, with the first and second peer systems receiving respective instances of a document for collaborative editing. The first and second peer systems may maintain respective version histories associated with the document, with these version histories capturing and storing revisions occurring locally at the first and second peer systems. The first and second peer systems may exchange version histories, and merge these version histories.

Merging versions of documents using multiple masters

Described is a mechanism for importing data into an outline aware application if the data does not include outline structure, and for creating outline structure in the data based on indicia of visual structure that may be present in the data. In one aspect, data is selected for import into the outline application. The data is devoid of outline structure, such as relative level information or parent/child relationship information. However, the data includes indicia of visual structure, such as markup attributes or tab characters. The outline application (or some related component) transforms the selected data into outline structured data based on the indicia of visual structure.
