A method for updating a theme element of a presentation includes causing display of a user interface on a client computer of a user, the user interface comprising a first slide of the presentation and a first option to edit an element of the first slide, and receiving a user selection of the first option to edit the element of the first slide, wherein the user selection of the first option comprises a request to modify the element of the first slide. The method further includes causing the element of the first slide to be modified based on the user selection of the first option, receiving a user selection of a second option in the user interface to apply the modification to the element of the first slide to a theme of the presentation, causing the theme element corresponding to the element of the first slide to be updated based on the modification of the element of the first slide, and causing the modification of the element of the first slide to be propagated to elements of other slides of the presentation that are associated with the theme.

System and method for updating a master slide of a presentation

In a presentation document, changes to an element in a first slide of the presentation may be propagated throughout the presentation. A first slide may be displayed, in a user interface, with a first option to edit an element of the first slide. A selection of the first option may cause an edit to the first element. A second option may be displayed if the first element has a dependent relationship with a master element of the presentation. Upon selection of the second option, the master element may be updated based on the edit to the element of the first slide. The edit may be propagated to other elements of the presentation that have the dependent relationship with the master element.

The document in the first layout at a user interface is displayed. The first layout displays the document in a continuous view. The first layout the document is scrollable to display different regions of the document at a user device. A first user request to convert the display of the document from the first layout to the second layout is received. Responsive to the first user request, a suggested boundary within the first layout of the document is determined by identifying an end of first content of a first content type and a beginning of second content of a second content type in the document. The first content type and the second content type are different content types.

Systems and methods for layout transformation of document content

A method to display changes to a master slide for a presentation includes receiving from a user on a client computer, a selection pertaining to the master slide in a presentation document comprising a plurality of slides, and identifying at least one slide in the presentation document that is dependent on the master slide. The method further includes providing, for display at the client computer, a presentation editing user interface comprising the master slide and the plurality of slides in the presentation document, the plurality of slides comprising the at least one dependent slide and one or more other slides that are not dependent on the master slide, wherein each dependent slide is automatically updated as edits are made to the master slide, and wherein the at least one dependent slide is to include a visual indicator that distinguishes the dependent slide from the other slides that are not dependent on the master slide.

System and method for highlighting dependent slides while editing master slides of a presentation

In many aspects, the systems and methods described herein include software and hardware for controlling, from one browser window, the display of information in an online document processing application on another browser window. For example, the systems and methods described herein provide a user with the ability to view a presentation slide deck on a first browser window while simultaneously viewing speaker notes for each slide of the slide deck in a second browser window. The systems and methods not only provide the user with the ability to view speaker notes, but also control the slideshow from the second browser window.

Systems and methods for controlling the display of online documents

In a collaborative presentation document, changes may be propagated throughout related elements in dependent slides. When making a change to an individual slide in the presentation, if any master-dependent elements are found to exist in the presentation, an option is provided to allow the change to be added as a master element in the presentation. The added master element can be applied to the master slide and any resulting dependent slides.

Systems and methods are disclosed herein for transitioning a display of a document from a first layout to a second layout. A processor at a user interface displays the document in the first layout. The processor receives a first user input indicative of a request to convert the display from the first layout to the second layout that represents the document as having a plurality of portions. The processor identifies a suggested boundary at a first position between two of the plurality of portions, displays the document in the second layout having the suggested boundary at the first position, and receives a second user input indicative of a request to move the suggested boundary to a second position different from the first position. The document is displayed in the second layout having the boundary in the second position.

A presentation document editing system provides master slides that can be associated with one or more other dependent slides in the presentation. When a slide in the presentation is edited, a preview of other slides in the presentation is displayed. When a master slide is edited, any dependent slides are shown in the preview with a visual indicator to distinguish the dependent slides from other slides in the presentation.

Systems and methods are disclosed herein for editing documents with non-native applications using an application engine. A request to open a document file using a non-native application is received from a user. An engine of the non-native application is selected, the engine being configured to edit the format of the file. Modifications to the document are received by the non-native application engine, and the document is saved to the file using the format of the file, without converting the document to a different format.

Systems and methods for editing a file in a non-native application using an application engine

A method for fact correction and completion during document drafting. The method includes receiving a first user input comprising text being added to an electronic document and initiating a fact correction mode. The fact correction mode includes parsing the text to identify a factual proposition and determining the accuracy of the factual proposition. If the factual proposition is inaccurate, the mode includes displaying a visual indication of the inaccuracy of the factual proposition; receiving a second user input comprising an indication selecting the inaccurate factual proposition; displaying a menu that includes a correction element wherein the correction element is based on an accurate factual proposition related to the inaccurate factual proposition; receiving a third user input comprising an indication selecting the correction element; and modifying the electronic document by replacing at least a portion of the inaccurate factual proposition with at least a portion of the accurate factual proposition.

Fact correction and completion during document drafting

Systems and methods are disclosed herein for time-based editing of an electronic presentation. An electronic presentation editing interface for editing an electronic presentation is provided. The interface includes a digital canvas including multiple canvas objects in multiple canvas layers and a digital timeline including multiple timeline objects. Each canvas object is linked to a timeline object, and a location of a timeline object on the digital timeline is indicative of a time and a canvas layer that each linked canvas object is displayed on the digital canvas.
