Abstract
Embodiments for managing collaborative editing of content are provided. At least one user interface is provided to a first user and a second user. The at least one user interface is configured to selectively provide the first user and the second user with the ability to edit content. Time-limited editing periods associated with the at least one user interface are established for the first user and the second user. During a first of the time-limited editing periods, the first user is provided with the ability to edit the content, and the second user is prevented from editing the content. During a second of the time-limited editing periods, the second user is provided with the ability to edit the content, and the first user is prevented from editing the content. The second of the time-limited editing periods does not overlap with the first of the time-limited editing periods.
