Abstract
Systems and methods for automatically resolving incompatible changes made by different users to collaborative content by capturing changes in the form of command records, where the command records store user changes as context associated with a user command and related content such as a recursive record of the commands called by each command, anchors, creation descriptors, invariant parameters, observations, and constraints. Using the stored command records, systems and methods described herein are able to 'rebase' the changes to create a resolved content state even in situations where one user may delete content and another user may later add/edit that otherwise deleted content. The system provides efficient and automatic resolution of incompatible edits based on the context from the command records underlying the user's intent when creating the command. Ultimately, the system increases user productivity by coordinating content creation within the collaborative content automatically.
