Systems and methods for resolving privileged edits within suggested edits

A method of incorporating a first edit and a second edit into an electronic document, comprising:

• receiving, by a processor, the first edit suggested by a first user with a first set of permissions and the second edit suggested by a second user with a second set of permissions, the first edit and the second edit having a shared position associated with the electronic document;
• determining, by the processor, whether the second edit is privileged relative to the first edit by determining whether the second set of permissions of the second user is larger than the first set of permissions of the first user;
• responsive to determining that the second edit is not privileged relative to the first edit, requiring, by the processor, the second user to indicate acceptance of the second edit prior to incorporating the second edit into the electronic document;
• and
• responsive to determining that the second edit is privileged relative to the first edit, incorporating, by the processor, the second edit into the electronic document without requiring the second edit to be independently accepted, wherein the first edit is incorporated into the electronic document responsive to receiving an indication of acceptance of the first edit by the second user.

A system for incorporating a first edit and a second edit into an electronic document, comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• a processor, coupled to the memory, to perform operations comprising:
• receiving the first edit suggested by a first user with a first set of permissions and the second edit suggested by a second user with a second set of permissions, the first edit and the second edit having a shared position associated with the electronic document;
• determining whether the second edit is privileged relative to the first edit by determining whether the second set of permissions of the second user is larger than the first set of permissions of the first user;
• responsive to determining that the second edit is not privileged relative to the first edit, requiring the second user to indicate acceptance of the second edit prior to incorporating the second edit into the electronic document;
• and
• responsive to determining that the second edit is privileged relative to the first edit, incorporating the second edit into the electronic document without requiring the second edit to be independently accepted, wherein the first edit is incorporated into the electronic document responsive to receiving an indication of acceptance of the first edit by the second user.

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations to incorporate a first edit and a second edit into an electronic document, the operations comprising:

• receiving the first edit suggested by a first user with a first set of permissions and the second edit suggested by a second user with a second set of permissions, the first edit and the second edit having a shared position associated with the electronic document;
• determining whether the second edit is privileged relative to the first edit by determining whether the second set of permissions of the second user is larger than the first set of permissions of the first user;
• responsive to determining that the second edit is not privileged relative to the first edit, requiring the second user to indicate acceptance of the second edit prior to incorporating the second edit into the electronic document;
• and
• responsive to determining that the second edit is privileged relative to the first edit, incorporating the second edit into the electronic document without requiring the second edit to be independently accepted, wherein the first edit is incorporated into the electronic document responsive to receiving an indication of acceptance of the first edit by the second user.
