Information processing apparatus, non- transitory computer readable medium storing program and information processing method for personalized collaboration in shared digital workspaces

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute an information processing comprising:

• displaying, on a display screen of a terminal device used by a user:
• a shared work region as a common work region that is accessed by a plurality of users, including the user, and that enables the plurality of users to execute work in cooperation,
• an operation element having a first operation element type or a second operation element type, the first operation element type for the user using the terminal device to input a first instruction related to work in the shared work region, the first operation element type being shared and useable by each of the plurality of users of the shared work region, and the second operation element type, being different from the first operation element type, provided for the user, the second operation element type
• (i) being for inputting a second instruction of work, the second instruction being specific to the user,
• (ii) not being shared by each of the plurality of users of the shared work region, and
• (iii) being displayed on the display screen of the terminal device used by the user for only the user, wherein
• the first operation element type and the second operation element type are displayed on the display screen in a selectable manner, and
• the information processing further including determining, in accordance with the first instruction or the second instruction from the user, content of the first instruction or the second instruction through input through the operation element of the user.
