Abstract
Collaboration cards are provided to enable people to collaborate and receive instant replies to comments or questions from anywhere in a collaboratively generated document. A collaborator may add somebody's name to a collaboration card and ask that person for information, for example. That person may receive the question/comment via an email, a text message, a posting, or comparable communication methods, and respond back with the requested information through the same communication channel or another communication channel. The replied content may be placed into the collaboration card created in the document, and the original sender may be enabled to accept a change to the document content based on the collaboration card.
