Recommendations, such as recipients and attachments, are determined from content that is associated with a message item. A user may enter one or more: recipients; attachments; and message content for the message that may be used in determining recommendations. Keywords may also be identified by analyzing the content of the message to determine recommended content/recipients. Behavior patterns may also be used to determine recommendations. The recommended users/content of a message may be obtained from a messaging program, a local data store, a network data store, a cloud service, and the like. The recommended items (e.g. users/content) determined from analyzing the content are displayed such that they may be used by the user when editing the message item. The recommended items may be ranked by relevancy using metrics such as keywords, people, time last viewed and use patterns.

Suggesting related items

Electronic messages are displayed as tiles. A tile may include a background related to the electronic message. For example, the background of a tile may be a preview of an attachment to the message. When the message includes an attachment (e.g. document, picture, link . . . ), an overlay is displayed over the background. The overlay includes information relating to the electronic message (i.e. subject, sender, time, message preview . . . ). When the message does not include an attachment then the tile may include all/portion of the content of the electronic message. For example, the tile may include the subject, sender, time stamp, and message content. A user may switch between different browsing experiences (e.g. conversation view, list view, strip view, . . . ). When a tile represents a conversation each sender within the conversation may be displayed on a tile along with a preview of the messages of the conversation (i.e. the most recent message).

Browsing electronic messages displayed as titles

A first set of changes to a first version of a digital document, as compared to a baseline version of the document, can be detected. The first set of changes can include a first change to a page of the document in the first version of the document, as compared to the baseline version of the document. Also, a second set of changes to a second version of a document, as compared to the baseline version of the document, can be detected. The second set of changes can include a second change to the page of the document in the second version of the document, as compared to the baseline version of the document. A conflict between the first change and the second change can be detected, and the conflict can be resolved by receiving user input or applying conflict resolution rule(s) to choose between the first and second changes.
