Disclosed are techniques pertaining to the creation of a social document through a collaboration. A server executing a social document management application may create a document comprised of content. The social document management application may also create an adhoc workflow process associated with the document in which the workflow process includes steps to create the content of the document. Collaborators may be assigned to work on the steps of the workflow process. In addition, tasks associated with the steps of the workflow process may be assigned to the collaborators and tracked. The tasks may be assigned by selecting content directly within the document and assigning a task pertaining to the selected content. The steps of the workflow process may then be approved.
