US 11,888,631 B2 · Document management in a communication platform

Abstract

Techniques for providing a dynamic and modifiable sidebar of a user interface of a communication platform are discussed herein. The sidebar includes affordances of virtual spaces that are associated with a particular user account, such that a virtual space is accessible via a respective affordance. In examples, a section of the sidebar can be modifiable by the user, such as to enable the user to personalize the sidebar. The virtual spaces can include collaborative documents that are created and managed by the communication platform. In examples, the communication platform receives interaction data associated with an interaction of a first user with a collaborative document and identifies a second user associated with the collaborative document. Based in part on the interaction data, the communication platform causes a notification to be presented in a sidebar of user interface associated with the second user, to inform the second user of the update.

Dependent claims

A method, implemented at least in part by one or more computing devices of a communication platform, the method comprising:

receiving, via a first user interface associated with a first user account of the communication platform, interaction data associated with an interaction with a document by a first user associated with the first user account, wherein the interaction includes at least one of a modification of the document or a message posted within the communication platform that references the document;
identifying a second user account associated with a second user of the communication platform that is associated with the document, wherein the second user is different from the first user and the first user and the second user are members of the document;
and
in response to identifying the second user account, causing display of a notification associated with an affordance associated with the document in a sidebar of a second user interface associated with the second user account, wherein the notification is based at least in part on the interaction data and the sidebar includes one or more virtual spaces in which the second user account is a member.

A system comprising:

one or more processors;
and
one or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed, cause the system to perform operations comprising:
receiving, via a first user interface associated with a first user account of a communication platform, interaction data associated with an interaction with a document by a first user associated with the first user account, wherein the interaction includes at least one of a modification of the document or a message posted within the communication platform that references the document;
identifying a second user account associated with a second user of the communication platform that is associated with the document, wherein the second user is different from the first user and the first user and the second user are members of the document;
and
in response to identifying the second user account, causing display of a notification associated with an affordance associated with the document in a sidebar of a second user interface associated with the second user account, wherein the notification is based at least in part on the interaction data and the sidebar includes one or more virtual spaces in which the second user account is a member.

4 more elements

One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

receiving, via a first user interface associated with a first user account of a communication platform, interaction data associated with an interaction with a document by a first user associated with the first user account, wherein the interaction includes at least one of a modification of the document or a message posted within the communication platform that references the document;
identifying a second user account associated with a second user of the communication platform that is associated with the document, wherein the second user is different from the first user and the first user and the second user are members of the document;
and
in response to identifying the second user account, causing display of a notification associated with an affordance associated with the document in a sidebar of a second user interface associated with the second user account, wherein the notification is based at least in part on the interaction data and the sidebar includes one or more virtual spaces in which the second user account is a member.
