Abstract
An online document system enables simultaneous collaboration on a shared document. Users associated with two or more collaborating entities can see edits and comments made to the shared document from all participants in real time. A first entity chooses to make all edits public to everyone or temporarily locks a clause so that the real time edits to the clause are only visible to users associated with the first entity. This allows all users associated with the first entity to continue to collaborate among themselves on edits to the locked document until it is in a state where they are ready for the rest of the users associated with other entities to view the changes. At the same time, the other users can continue to review, edit, and collaborate on the other clauses in the document. When the permissions are updated, all entities can again view the clauses for negotiation.
