## Abstract

Embodiments of the disclosure provide a method and apparatus for displaying collaboratively edited information, an electronic device, and a readable medium. The method includes: determining, in response to an operation of moving an operation focus to a first content block in an online document by a first collaborative editor, a first identifier display area corresponding to the first content block; and displaying an identifier of the first collaborative editor in the first identifier display area. The first content block is a collaboratively editable content block. Content blocks in the online document are in a one-to-one correspondence with identifier display areas. The first identifier display area is positioned outside the first content block. At least part of an identifier of each collaborative editor is displayed in the first identifier display area. Information about collaborative editors participating in collaborative editing of any content block in the online document can be accurately determined.
