Digital processing systems and methods for display pane scroll locking during collaborative document editing in collaborative work systems

Abstract

Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for managing a display interference in an electronic collaborative word processing document are disclosed. The systems and methods may involve accessing a electronic collaborative word processing document; presenting a first and a second instance of the electronic collaborative word processing document via a first and a second hardware device running a first and a second editor, respectively; receiving from the first and the second editor during a common editing period, first and second edits to the electronic collaborative word processing document, respectively; locking a display associated with the second hardware device to suppress the pagination change caused by the first edits received by the second hardware device; and upon receipt of a scroll-up command via the second editor during the common editing period, causing the display associated with the second hardware device to reflect the pagination change caused by the first edits.
