Collaborative Electronic Document Editing

A method for collaborative editing, comprising:

• transmitting data adapted to cause a first device and a second device to display a first modification to a document by a first user in a first style associated with the first user, the document having a document style different than the first style, wherein the first device is associated with the first user and the second device is associated with a second user;
• transmitting data adapted to transform a display, on the first device, of the first modification from the first style to the document style over a first period of time configurable by the first user;
• and
• transmitting data adapted to transform a display, on the second device, of the first modification from the first style to the document style over a second period of time configurable by the second user, the first period of time comprising a configured amount of time different than the second period of time.

An article of manufacture including a non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon, that in response to execution by a computing device, causes the computing device to perform operations comprising:

• transmitting data adapted to cause a first device and a second device to display a first modification to a document by a first user in a first style associated with the first user, the document having a document style different than the first style, wherein the first device is associated with the first user and the second device is associated with a second user;
• transmitting data adapted to transform a display, on the first device, of the first modification from the first style to the document style over a first period of time configurable by the first user;
• and
• transmitting data adapted to transform a display, on the second device, of the first modification from the first style to the document style over a second period of time configurable by the second user, the first period of time comprising a configured amount of time different than the second period of time.

A system for collaborative editing, comprising a processor configured to:

• transmit data adapted to cause a first device and a second device to display a first modification to a document by a first user in a first style associated with the first user, the document having a document style different than the first style, wherein the first device is associated with the first user and the second device is associated with a second user;
• transmit data adapted to transform a display, on the first device, of the first modification from the first style to the document style over a first period of time configurable by the first user;
• and
• transmit data adapted to transform a display, on the second device, of the first modification from the first style to the document style over a second period of time configurable by the second user, the first period of time comprising a configured amount of time different than the second period of time.
