Systems and methods are disclosed herein for resolving a change to a table. A processing circuitry receives, from a user in a collaborative document editing environment, the change to the table, wherein the change comprises an expansion of a first cell in the table. A first state of the first cell is identified, wherein the state is indicative of a number of columns and a number of rows over which the first cell spans, and at least one of the number of columns and the number of rows is greater than one. A second state of a second cell that is adjacent to the first cell is identified, and the processing circuitry selects whether to allow the expansion of the first cell based on the second state of the second cell.

A method for providing automated suggestions in a document stored on a cloud computing service includes providing collaborators with access to the document, who may each insert suggested edits into the document. The cloud computing service provides a plurality of suggestion robots for the collaborators to activate within the document, where each suggestion robot has an associated editing objective. The cloud computing service receives a request from a first collaborator to activate a first suggestion robot and activates the robot to present to the first collaborator a plurality of suggested edits of the document according to the editing objective of the robot, where the plurality of suggested edits by the first suggestion robot are displayed with any suggested edits by the one or more collaborators, and the first collaborator may accept or reject each of the plurality of suggested edits of the robot and the collaborators.
