Collaborative document access recording and management

A method for presenting user access history for a collaborative document, the method comprising:

• presenting, by a user device, a user interface displaying the collaborative document, the user interface comprising a visual indicator representing the user access history;
• detecting, by the user device, a first selection of the visual indicator representing the user access history;
• requesting, by the user device, the user access history for the collaborative document from a server, the user access history specifying a plurality of users who have permission to access the collaborative document including one or more users who have not accessed the collaborative document, wherein the collaborative document is an electronic document for which at least a subset of users of the plurality of users have been granted permission to edit concurrently;
• in response to receiving the user access history from the server, presenting an updated user interface displaying the user access history together with the collaborative document within a consolidated view;
• receiving a second selection to view user access history settings;
• presenting a user access privacy settings view comprising at least one of a selectable option to enable or disable user access history viewing associated with a user for the collaborative document;
• receiving a third selection to disable user access history viewing associated with the user for the collaborative document;
• and
• providing, to the server, an indication of the third selection received from the user to disable user access history viewing associated with the user for the collaborative document wherein the server, subsequent to the third selection received from the user user access history for the collaborative document based on the accesses of the collaborative document by the one or more of the plurality of users other than the user second user device.

A system, comprising:

• a memory device;
• and
• a processing device coupled to the memory device to:
• receive a first request for a collaborative document from a user device of a user of a plurality of users that have permission to access the collaborative document;
• provide the collaborative document to the user device for presentation to the user In a user interface on the user device;
• receive a second request for a user access history for the collaborative document presented in the user interface on the user device;
• create the user access history for the collaborative document based on accesses of the collaborative document by one or more of the plurality of users, the user access history specifying the plurality of users who have permission to access the collaborative document including one or more users who have not accessed the collaborative document, wherein the collaborative document is an electronic document for which at least a subset of users of the plurality of users have been granted permission to edit concurrently;
• provide the user access history for the collaborative document to the user device for display within a consolidated view of the user interface presenting the collaborative document;
• receive, from the user device, a third request to disable showing of accesses of the collaborative document performed by the user of the user device, wherein disabling the showing of accesses comprises preventing the plurality of users other than the user from receiving any user access history associated with the user with respect to the collaborative document;
• receive, from a second user device of a second user of the plurality of users, a fourth request, subsequent to the disabling the showing of accesses, for the user access history for the collaborative document being presented in a second user interface on the second user device;
• create a second user access history for the collaborative document based on the accesses of the collaborative document by the one or more of the plurality of users other than the user;
• and
• provide the second user access history for the collaborative document to the second user device for display in the second user interface presenting the collaborative document on the second user device.

One or more tangible, non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processing devices, cause the one or more processing devices to:

• present a user interface displaying a collaborative document, the user interface comprising a visual indicator representing a user access history;
• detect a first selection of the visual indicator representing the user access history;
• request the user access history for the collaborative document from a server of the one or more processing devices, the user access history specifying a plurality of users who have permission to access the collaborative document including one or more users who have not accessed the collaborative document, wherein the collaborative document is an electronic document for which at least a subset of users of the plurality of users have been granted permission to edit concurrently;
• in response to receiving the user access history from the server, present an updated user interface displaying the user access history together with the collaborative document within a consolidated view;
• receive a second selection to view user access history settings;
• present a user access privacy settings view comprising at least one of a selectable option to enable or disable user access history viewing associated with a user for the collaborative document;
• receive a third selection to disable user access history viewing associated with the user for the collaborative document;
• provide, to the server, an indication of the third selection received from the user to disable user access history viewing associated with the user for the collaborative document, wherein the server, subsequent to the third selection received from the user, is to provide to a second user device of a second user of the plurality of users, a second user access history for the collaborative document based on the accesses of the collaborative documnt by the one or more of the plurality of users other than the user for display in a second user interface presenting the collaborative document on the second user device.
