Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for shared electronic documents are disclosed. The systems and methods may involve enabling access to an electronic word processing document including blocks of text, wherein each block of text has an associated address; accessing at least one data structure containing block-based permissions for each block of text, and wherein the permissions include at least one permission to view an associated block of text; receiving from an entity a request to access the electronic word processing document; performing a lookup in the at least one data structure to determine that the entity lacks permission to view at least one specific block within the electronic word processing document; and causing to be rendered on a display associated with the entity, the electronic word processing document with the at least one specific block omitted from the display.

Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for enabling a plurality of mobile communications devices to be used in parallel to comment on presentation slides within a deck are disclosed. The systems and methods may involve receiving a first and a second comment on a first slide; receiving a third and a fourth comment on a second slide; identifying a first and a second repository associated with the first and the second slide of the presentation, respectively; aggregating the first comment and the second comment in the first repository; aggregating the third comment and the fourth comment in the second repository; displaying to a presenter of the deck the first comment and the second comment in association with the first slide; and displaying to the presenter of the deck, the third comment and the fourth comment in association with the second slide.

Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for enabling simultaneous group editing of electronically stored documents are disclosed. The systems and methods may involve accessing a collaborative electronic document; linking a first entity and a second entity to form a first collaborative group; linking a third entity and a fourth entity to form a second collaborative group; receiving a first alteration to the collaborative electronic document; tagging the first alteration with a first collaborative group indicator; receiving a second alteration to the collaborative electronic document; tagging the second alteration with the first collaborative group indicator; receiving a third alteration to the collaborative electronic document; tagging the third alteration with a second collaborative group indicator; receiving a fourth alteration to the collaborative electronic document; tagging the fourth alteration with the second collaborative group indicator; and rendering a display of the collaborative electronic document.

Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for enabling granular rollback of historical edits in an electronic document are disclosed. The systems and methods may involve accessing the electronic document, having an original form; recording at a first time, second time, and third time, first edits, second edits, and third edits to a specific portion of the electronic document, respectively; receiving at a fourth time, a selection of the specific portion; in response to the selection, rendering a historical interface enabling viewing of an original form of the selection, the first edits, the second edits, and the third edits; receiving an election of one of the original form of the electronic document, the first edits, the second edits, and the third edits; and upon receipt of the election, presenting a rolled-back display reflecting edits made to the specific portion of the electronic document.

Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for embedding within an electronic word processing document are disclosed. The systems and methods may involve accessing the electronic word processing document, wherein the electronic word processing document contains text; detecting an in-line object inserted into the text at a particular location, the in-line object including a URL-based rule linked to a portion of the text; executing the URL-based rule to retrieve internet located data corresponding to the URL-based rule; and inserting the retrieved internet-located data into the text at the particular location.
