Abstract
The disclosed technologies enable users to view a particular modification state of select objects of a document without impacting the display of unselected objects. For example, a user can create a number of objects located at different sections of a document. The user may perform modifications to each object that result in a sequence of modification states for each object. The user may select a subset of the objects by the use of an input gesture. The user can then view a specific modification state of the selected objects that existed at a first point in time, while viewing a modification state of other objects that existed at another point in time. In this way, the user is enabled to concurrently view different versions of each object even if these particular versions did not coexist at any point in time during the user's editing process.
