Abstract
Architecture that provides a technique whereby version information is tracked and presented for a given document, in the document. The version information can be presented or accessed using a dropdown user interface (UI) navigation model which employs animation to assist users in tracking which user is making a change and when the change is made. Moreover, a user can select a specific version item to navigate back to the content associated with changes made, as part of collaboration, for example. The dropdown menu includes elements that comprise user tiles, user name, last saved date, and so on. Additionally, a user can jump between documents within a single UI. In an email embodiment, users communicating via email as part of the collaboration can be presented with a side-by-side view of the messages communicated during the collaboration, and the corresponding change to the document content.
