Abstract
The disclosed technology relates to a system configured to access a collaborative content item stored by a content management system and receive a user selection of a portion of a source content item to embed into the collaborative content item, wherein the source content item is managed by the content management system. The system is further configured to generate a content pane within the collaborative content item and embed the portion of the source content item in the content pane of the collaborative content item.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving a user selection of a portion of a source content item to embed into a collaborative content item, wherein the source content item is managed by a content management system and the portion of the source content item is defined by location data within the source content item;
- generating a content pane within the collaborative content item;
- embedding the portion of the source content item in the content pane of the collaborative content item;
- receiving, from the content management system, an edit to the source content item, wherein the edit is to the portion of the source content item embedded in the collaborative content item;
- determining, for the collaborative content item, that updating of the collaborative content item is enabled for the edit to the source content item;
- and
- updating, based on the edit to the source content item and enablement of updating for the edit to the source content item, the portion of the source content item embedded in the collaborative content item.
A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions, the instructions, when executed by a computing system, cause the computing system to:
- access a collaborative content item stored by a content management system;
- receive a user selection of a portion of a source content item to embed into the collaborative content item, wherein the source content item is managed by the content management system;
- generate a content pane within the collaborative content item;
- and
- embed the portion of the source content item in the content pane of the collaborative content item;
- and
- determine, for the collaborative content item, that updating of the collaborative content item is enabled in association with changes to the source content item.
A system comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
- receive a user selection of a portion of a source content item to embed into a collaborative content item, wherein the source content item is managed by a content management system;
- generate a content pane within the collaborative content item;
- embed the portion of the source content item in the content pane of the collaborative content item;
- determine, for the collaborative content item, that updating of the collaborative content item is enabled in association with changes to the source content item;
- receive, via the content pane, a user edit to the source content item, wherein the update is to the portion of the source content item embedded in the collaborative content item;
- and
- transmit, to the content management system based on the user edit to the source content item, an update for the portion of the source content item.
