[0027] In all the accompanying figures, the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements. Detailed Implementation

[0028] It is understood that the data involved in this technical solution (such as chat messages, and including but not limited to the data itself, the acquisition or use of the data) shall comply with the requirements of relevant laws, regulations and related provisions.

[0029] Embodiments of this disclosure will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. While some embodiments of this disclosure are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that this disclosure can be implemented in various forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to provide a more thorough and complete understanding of this disclosure. It should be understood that the accompanying drawings and embodiments of this disclosure are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this disclosure.

[0030] In the description of embodiments of this disclosure, the term "comprising" and similar terms should be understood as open-ended inclusion, i.e., "including but not limited to". The term "based on" should be understood as "at least partially based on". The term "one embodiment" or "the embodiment" should be understood as "at least one embodiment". The terms "first", "second", etc., may refer to different or the same objects. Other explicit and implicit definitions may also be included below.

[0031] In both work and life, we often encounter scenarios where we need to sync instant messages to collaborative documents. Currently, the only way to fully present an instant message is through a screenshot, which can include the publisher's avatar, the date and time of publication, comments on the message, and the message content. However, screenshots may not be clear, or the screenshot size may not be large enough, requiring multiple screenshots and resulting in poor layout.

[0032] To address the aforementioned shortcomings, embodiments of this disclosure provide a solution for presenting instant messages. This solution offers a method for embedding the full view of an instant message into a collaborative document, and provides a function that allows clicking on the instant message to return to the original instant message's chat window. Thus, while meeting user needs, it reduces operational steps, improves user experience, and enhances message flow to a certain extent.

[0033] The following will combine Figures 1 to 15 This disclosure is described in this way. However, it should be understood that this is merely to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the principles and ideas of the embodiments of this disclosure, and is not intended to limit the scope of this disclosure in any way.

[0034] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of an example environment 100 in which a method for presenting instant messages according to certain embodiments of the present disclosure can be implemented is shown. Figure 1 As shown, the example environment 100 may include a session window 110 and a collaborative document 120. The session window 110 and the collaborative document 120 can run on any electronic device such as a mobile terminal, smartphone, desktop computer, laptop computer, tablet phone, etc.

[0035] Conversation window 110 can be a one-on-one chat window, including conversations with a user or with a chatbot assistant. Conversation window 110 can also be a group chat window, including conversations with multiple users or conversations with multiple users and a chatbot assistant. Conversation window 110 can also be a topic-based conversation window, including the main topic post or reply posts that respond to the main topic post. Conversation window 110 can include multiple instant messages, such as instant message 112, instant message 114, instant message 116, and instant message 118. The publishers of the instant messages can be the same or different. It is understood that conversation window 110 can include more or fewer instant messages. Instant messages can also include comments or responses, such as emoticons like: like, +1, thumbs up, laughing-crying, OK, or others. Conversation window 110 can also include messages with nested reply structures, where a reply to a first message combines the content of the first message and the content of the reply message into a single message for display. The session window 110 may also include a status indicator for the sent message after secondary editing, such as displaying "Edited" after the message.

[0036] Collaborative document 120 retrieves instant messages. For example, it receives the action 140 of pasting instant messages 112 and 114. After retrieving instant messages 112 and 114, they can be presented as a card view 130 or a link view 132. In card view 130, the full view or a portion of the full view of instant messages 112 and 114 will be presented. The full view can be presented as a previewable card. The previewable card may include one or more of the publisher's avatar, name, posting time, date, comments on the message, etc. In link view 132, instant messages 112 and 114 will be presented as jump links.

[0037] If a user selects instant message 112 or instant message 114 (e.g., by clicking on a touchscreen), and it is determined that the user is in the session window 110 containing instant message 112 or instant message 114, then the user can be redirected (150) to session window 110. If it is determined that the user is not in session window 110, then the user can be prompted that the user cannot be redirected, and the reason why the user cannot be redirected is also indicated, namely that the user is not in session window 110.

[0038] In some embodiments, a session can include one-on-one chat sessions, private group sessions, and public group sessions. A one-on-one chat session is a chat session between users; a private group session is a group chat session with two or more members, in which only group members or users invited by the group administrator can enter the session, and non-group members cannot actively join; a public group session is a group chat session with two or more members, in which anyone within the organization can find the public group session by searching the group name or group information, and can actively join the session. Additionally, when a link to a public group is obtained, it can also be clicked to join the public group session. Based on this, if the link is for a one-on-one chat session or a private group session, when a user clicks the link in the instant message within the document, and the user is a member of the session, the user can be redirected to the session window; if the user is not a member of the session, the redirection is refused. If the link is for a public group session, when a user clicks the link in the instant message within the document, the user will be directly taken to the session window.

[0039] Figure 2 A flowchart of a method 200 for presenting instant messages according to certain embodiments of the present disclosure is shown. The following will be combined with... Figure 1 and Figure 2 Let's describe method 200. At box 202, determine how the instant messages are presented in the collaborative document, where the presentation method includes card view or link view. As an example, one or more of instant messages 112, 114, 116, and 118 can be selected, and the selected instant messages can be pasted into collaborative document 120. When pasting the selected one or more instant messages, it can be determined whether to use card view 130 or link view 132. For ease of description, assume that user A selects instant messages 112 and 114 and pastes them into collaborative document 120; the following description will be based on this assumption.

[0040] At box 204, within the collaborative document, the instant messages are presented to the user according to the presentation method. For example, if card view 130 was selected when pasting instant messages 112 and 114, then instant messages 112 and 114 can be displayed in card view. If link view 132 was selected when pasting instant messages 112 and 114, then instant messages 112 and 114 can be displayed in link view.

[0041] At box 206, in response to receiving a jump link for an instant message, the user jumps to the window of the session containing the instant message. For example, if user B is editing collaborative document 120 and clicks on instant message 112 or 114, and user B is also in session window 110, then the user can jump to session window 110. In some embodiments, if session window 110 is not open, it can be popped up while keeping collaborative document 120 open. In some embodiments, instant message 110 can be located in session window 110 and highlighted.

[0042] By implementing method 200, instant messages can be displayed in collaborative documents, and if the user is in the session containing the instant message, they can also jump back to the session containing the instant message. Therefore, the user does not need to search for the session window, reducing operation steps and improving user experience.

[0043] Figure 3 A flowchart illustrating a process 300 for generating a collaborative document including instant messaging, according to certain embodiments of this disclosure, is shown. Figure 3 The process 300 shown describes the process of pasting an instant message into a collaborative document and determining different permissions from the perspective of the generator (e.g., user A mentioned above). Process 300 begins at box 302. At box 304, the action of selecting and copying the instant message is received. The instant message can originate from a group chat, a one-on-one chat, or other collaborative documents. In some embodiments, copying the instant message includes copying a link to the instant message. This link can be understood as an anchor point through which the original location of the instant message can be located, i.e., its specific location within its original session. Types of original sessions include group chat sessions and one-on-one chat sessions, which will be discussed below. Figure 5 and Figure 6 Used to describe group chat and one-on-one chat conversations.

[0044] Figure 5 A schematic diagram of a group chat session 500 according to certain embodiments of the present disclosure is shown. The group chat session 500 is displayed on the screen 502 of an electronic device, for example, within area 504 of the screen 502. At the top of the group chat session 500, a name 506 for the group chat may be included, such as "First Business Unit Group". The group chat session 500 may also include multiple instant messages, such as instant message 514, instant message 526, and instant message 532. Above instant message 514, an avatar of the publisher 508 of instant message 514 may also be included.

[0045] Next to the poster's avatar (508), the posting date (510) and time (512) can also be included. Next to the instant message (514), an icon (516) indicating further actions can also be included. Clicking or hovering over the icon (516) can display more action boxes (518), such as commenting, cutting, copying, copying links, multi-selection, and deleting. Below the instant message (514), comments (522) on the instant message (514) can also be included, such as liking. Below the instant message (514), a reading status icon (520) can also be included, such as a solid icon indicating all messages have been read.

[0046] Understandably, the date 510, time 512, icon 516, comment 522, and reading status icon 520 displayed around the instant message 514 can change their positions as needed, or they may not always be displayed, but appear in response to the mouse moving to the vicinity of the instant message.

[0047] Similarly, group chat session 500 can also include the avatars of instant message 526 and its sender 524, and can also include icons surrounding it similarly to those for instant message 514, which will not be elaborated here. The read status icon 528 of instant message 526 indicates that some users have read it, with the larger the proportion of black text, the more users have read it.

[0048] Similarly, group chat session 500 may also include instant message 532 and the avatar of its sender 530, and may also include icons surrounding it similarly to those for instant messages 514 or 526, which will not be elaborated further here. The read status icon 534 for instant message 532 is hollow, indicating that it is unread, meaning no other user has read instant message 532.

[0049] Figure 6 A schematic diagram of a one-on-one chat session 600 according to certain embodiments of the present disclosure is shown. The one-on-one chat session 600 can be displayed on the screen 602 of an electronic device, for example, within area 604 of screen 602. At the top of the one-on-one chat session 600, the names of the chat participants can be included. For example, if the one-on-one chat session 600 is a chat window between user D and user E, and the one-on-one chat session 600 is viewed from user D's chat window, then user E's name can be displayed at name 606.

[0050] A one-on-one chat session 600 may also include multiple instant messages, such as instant message 614 and instant message 626. Above instant message 614, the avatar of the publisher 608 of instant message 614 may also be included. Next to the publisher 608's avatar, the date 610 and time 612 of publication may also be included. Next to instant message 614, an icon 616 indicating further actions may also be included. Clicking or hovering the mouse over icon 616 may display a box 618 indicating further actions, such as commenting, cutting, copying, copying links, multi-selection, and deletion. Below instant message 614, comments 622 on instant message 614 may also be included, such as "OK". Below instant message 614, a read status icon 620 may also be included, such as a circular icon with a checkmark indicating that instant message 614 has been read.

[0051] Similarly, a one-on-one chat session 600 may also include the avatar of instant message 626 and its sender 624, and may also include icons that appear around it in the same way as instant message 614, which will not be elaborated here.

[0052] Now return to Figure 3 At box 306, the source of the instant message is determined. If the source of the instant message is source 308, i.e., an instant message that has been copied from another document, and the instant message is pasted to be presented in card view, then process 300 proceeds to box 310. If the source of the instant message is source 314, i.e., an instant message that has been copied from another document, and the instant message is pasted to be presented in link view, then process 300 proceeds to box 316. In some embodiments, if the source of the instant message is the current collaborative document, and for the case of copying a message link from the current collaborative document, then the content of the text link generated after pasting is still "from XX session", where XX represents the current collaborative document. If the source of the instant message is source 324, i.e., an instant message in a chat session, then process 300 proceeds to box 326.

[0053] To better understand card views and link views, the following will combine... Figures 7 to 8B To describe the card view. Figure 7A schematic diagram of a card view 700 according to certain embodiments of the present disclosure is shown. In a collaborative document 702, a card view icon 704 presented in card view and a link view icon 706 presented in link view may be determined. The presentation mode can be switched by selecting either the card view icon 704 or the link view icon 706. It is understood that the card view icon 704 or the link view icon 706 need not be constantly displayed in the collaborative document; it can be displayed in response to the mouse or finger being in the active area, and not displayed if the mouse or finger is not in the active area.

[0054] The collaborative document 702 may include a predefined presentation area 708. The predefined presentation area 708 can be used to present instant messages pasted into the collaborative document 702. For example, instant messages 716, 722, and 726 are pasted into the collaborative document 702. The information presented around instant message 716 may also include the publisher 710, publication date 712, publication time 714, and comments 718.

[0055] Similarly, the information displayed around instant message 722 may also include publisher 720, as well as other information or icons (not shown), and the information displayed around instant message 726 may also include publisher 724, as well as other information or icons (not shown). At the bottom of the designated display area 708, the source 728 of the instant message may also be included, for example, instant message 716, instant message 722 and instant message 726 originate from the First Business Division Group.

[0056] The predetermined rendering area 708 has a threshold height 730, which can be determined, for example, in pixels. If the pixel threshold required to render the instant message is less than or equal to the threshold height, the instant message can be rendered entirely within the predetermined rendering area 708. If the threshold required to render the instant message is greater than the threshold height, a portion of the instant message can be rendered within the predetermined rendering area 708.

[0057] Figure 8AA schematic diagram of a first portion 800A of an instant message in a card view according to certain embodiments of the present disclosure is shown. In a collaborative document 802, a card view icon 804 presented in a card view and a link view icon 806 presented in a link view may be determined. Similarly, the presentation mode can be switched by selecting either the card view icon 804 or the link view icon 806. In the collaborative document 802, a threshold height 830 of a predetermined presentation area 832 is less than the pixel height required to present all instant messages. Thus, as an example, instant messages 816 and 822 (also referred to as the first portion) may be determined to be presented in the predetermined presentation area 832. A side scrollbar 840 may be generated. The side scrollbar 840 may initially be at the top and may be pulled down (842) to a lower position.

[0058] Figure 8B A schematic diagram of the second part 800B of an instant message in a card view according to certain embodiments of the present disclosure is shown. Figure 8B In this configuration, the side scroll bar 840 has been pulled down to a lower position and can be pulled up (844) to a higher position. Under the control of the side scroll bar 840, it can be determined that instant messages 822 and 826 (also referred to as the second part) are presented in the predetermined presentation area 832. It is understood that, in the case of more instant messages, the change in the presentation content that can be controlled by the side scroll bar every certain distance (e.g., one pixel) can be redefined.

[0059] Now return to Figure 3 At box 310, the instant message pasted into the collaborative document is received. At box 312, a copy of the instant message identical to that from source 308 is generated. At box 316, the pasting of the instant message is received. At box 318, it is determined whether the user is in the original session of the instant message. If the user is in the original session of the instant message, process 300 proceeds to box 320. At box 320, the message link is resolved to the message title as a text link (e.g., ...). Figure 7 (Source 728 in the context). If the user is not in the original session of the instant message, process 300 proceeds to box 322. At box 322, the message link is not resolved to a text link, but a jump link (also known as a naked link) is directly presented.

[0060] At box 326, the instant message is pasted, and by default, it will be presented in card view. At box 328, it is determined whether there is an action to switch views. If there is an action to switch the card view to a linked view, process 300 proceeds to 332. If there is no action to switch the card view to a linked view, process 300 proceeds to 330. At box 330, the instant message is parsed into a message card and presented in the collaborative document. At box 332, the instant message is parsed into a message title and presented in the collaborative document. At box 334, process 300 ends.

[0061] By implementing process 300, messages can be linked and copied into collaborative documents. Collaborative documents have the ability to parse message links and present instant messages according to their presentation style. This allows messages to be consolidated into documents, enhancing message flow, lowering the barrier to message transfer, and improving the readability of instant messages within the document because the complete message structure is preserved.

[0062] Figure 4 A flowchart illustrating an authentication process 400 for presenting instant messages to a user according to certain embodiments of this disclosure is shown. Figure 4 The process 400 shown is for editing collaborative documents (e.g., in the description) Figure 2 The process of reading and editing instant messages in a collaborative document is described from the perspective of user B). Process 400 begins at box 402. At box 404, the presentation method of the instant message is determined. If the presentation method is a card view, process 400 proceeds to box 406. If the presentation method is a link view, process 400 proceeds to box 424.

[0063] In box 406, determine the operation scenario. For example, if the user selects to switch views, which falls under the view switching scenario, then process 400 proceeds to box 408. If the user clicks on an instant message, which falls under the message source viewing scenario, then process 400 proceeds to box 416. In box 408, confirm that the current operation is view switching. In box 410, determine if the user has permission to edit collaborative documents. If the user has permission to edit collaborative documents, then process 400 proceeds to box 412. In box 412, the presentation mode can be switched from card view to linked view, and process 400 proceeds to box 428. If the user does not have permission to edit collaborative documents, then process 400 proceeds to box 414. In box 414, confirm that the presentation mode cannot be switched from card view to linked view, and also prompt the user with the reason.

[0064] At box 416, it is determined that the current action is to view the message source. At box 418, it is determined whether the user is in the original session of the instant message. If the user is in the original session of the instant message, process 400 proceeds to box 420. At box 420, the message source can be presented in card view. At box 454, in response to the user clicking the instant message presented in card view, process 400 can proceed to box 452.

[0065] If the user is not in the original instant messaging session, process 400 proceeds to box 422. At box 422, the specific source of the message is not displayed in the card view. For example, the name of the group chat from which the message originated is not displayed; only the group chat name is shown. This will be discussed in conjunction with... Figure 9 Describe the difference between displaying the message source in the card view and displaying the message source.

[0066] Figure 9 A schematic diagram of a card view 900, according to certain embodiments of the present disclosure, is shown where a user is not in a group chat session. A predetermined presentation area 904 may be included in the collaborative document 902. The predetermined presentation area 904 may be used to present instant messages pasted into the collaborative document 902. For example, instant messages 912, 916, and 920 are pasted into the collaborative document 902. The information presented around instant message 912 may also include the publisher 906, publication date 908, and publication time 910.

[0067] Similarly, the information displayed around instant message 916 may include the publisher 914, as well as other information or icons (not shown), and the information displayed around instant message 920 may include the publisher 918, as well as other information or icons (not shown). At the bottom of the designated display area 904, the specific sources of instant messages 912, 916, and 920 are not displayed; only the source from the group chat is shown (at box 922). For a clearer understanding, you can also review... Figure 7 Examples, such as Figure 7 The source of the instant message presented is 728, which shows the specific name of the source, such as the First Business Division Group.

[0068] If the instant message comes from a one-on-one chat session, you can combine... Figure 10 and Figure 11 To understand the difference between presenting the message source of a one-on-one chat session in the card view and presenting the message source of a one-on-one chat session in the card view. Figure 10A schematic diagram of a card view 1000 in a one-on-one chat session according to certain embodiments of the present disclosure is shown. In a collaborative document 1002, a card view icon 1004 presented in card view and a link view icon 1006 presented in link view may be included. The presentation mode can be switched by selecting either the card view icon 1004 or the link view icon 1006. It is understood that the card view icon 1004 or the link view icon 1006 does not necessarily need to be constantly displayed in the collaborative document; it may be displayed in response to the mouse or finger being in the active area, and not displayed if the mouse or finger is not in the active area.

[0069] The collaborative document 1002 may include a predefined presentation area 1008. The predefined presentation area 1008 can be used to present instant messages pasted into the collaborative document 1002. For example, instant messages 1018 and 1022 are pasted into the collaborative document 1002. The information presented around instant message 1018 may also include the publisher 1012, publication date 1014, and publication time 1016.

[0070] Similarly, the information displayed around instant message 1022 may also include the publisher 1020, as well as other information or icons (not shown). At the bottom of the designated display area 1008, the specific source of instant messages 1018 and 1022 is displayed, such as a group chat with E (in box 1024).

[0071] Figure 11 A schematic diagram of a card view 1100 not in a one-on-one chat session according to certain embodiments of the present disclosure is shown. A predetermined presentation area 1104 may be included in the collaborative document 1102. The predetermined presentation area 1104 may be used to present instant messages pasted into the collaborative document 1102. For example, instant messages 1114 and 1118 are pasted into the collaborative document 1102. The publisher 1108, publication date 1110, and publication time 1112 may also be presented around instant message 1114.

[0072] Similarly, the information displayed around instant message 1118 may also include the publisher 1116, as well as other information or icons (not shown). At the bottom of the designated display area 1104, the specific source of instant messages 1114 and 1118 is not displayed; only the source from the one-on-one chat is displayed (at box 1120).

[0073] Now let's go back to... Figure 4At box 424, determine the operation scenario. If the scenario involves the user pasting a message link into a collaborative document, or copying a message link from another document into the collaborative document, then process 400 proceeds to box 426. If the scenario involves switching views, such as receiving a user's action to switch views, then process 400 proceeds to box 434. If the scenario involves a click to navigate, such as the user clicking on an instant message, then process 400 proceeds to box 442.

[0074] At box 426, the operation scenario is determined to be copying the message link to a collaborative document. At box 428, it is determined whether the user is in the original instant message session. If the user is in the original instant message session, process 400 proceeds to 430. If the user is not in the original instant message session, process 400 proceeds to 432. At box 430, the message link can be parsed into a title and presented as a text link. At box 432, the message link can be presented as a jump link instead of parsing it into a text link. The following will combine... Figure 12 and Figure 13 Used to describe text links and jump links.

[0075] Figure 12 A schematic diagram of a link view 1200 according to certain embodiments of the present disclosure is shown. In the collaborative document 1202, a card view icon 1204 and a link view icon 1206 may be included. Figure 12 In the document 1202, link view icon 1206 is selected, so text link 1208 is displayed. Text link 1208 is presented as text, which can represent the name of the specific source of the instant message. Hovering the mouse over text link 1208 displays icons for more actions. Clicking the text link, if permissions permit, will jump to the original instant message session window. Figure 13 A schematic diagram of a link view 1300 where the user is not in a session, according to certain embodiments of the present disclosure, is shown. In the collaborative document 1302, the jump link 1304 is presented in the form of a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) address. Clicking this URL link allows navigation to the original session window of the instant message, provided permissions permit.

[0076] Now return to Figure 4 At box 434, the scenario is determined to be a view switch. At box 436, it is determined whether the user has editing permissions for the collaborative document. If the user has editing permissions for the collaborative document, process 400 proceeds to 438. If the user does not have editing permissions for the collaborative document, process 400 proceeds to 440. At box 438, the presentation of the instant message is switched to a card view. At box 440, the view is not switched. In some embodiments, the user may also be prompted with the reason why the switch cannot be performed.

[0077] At box 442, the scenario is determined to be a click jump. At box 444, it is determined whether the user is in the original instant message session. If it is determined that the user is in the original instant message session, process 400 proceeds to box 446. If it is determined that the user is not in the original instant message session, or it cannot be determined, process 400 proceeds to 448. At box 446, a jump is made to the corresponding position (anchor point) in the original session window where the instant message is located. In some embodiments, the instant message can also be highlighted in the original session window.

[0078] At box 448, it is determined whether the user is already logged into the collaborative document account or the instant messaging software account. In some embodiments, both can be the same account, or instant messaging and collaborative documents can use the same software, which are different functions or services of that software. If it is determined that the user is already logged in, process 400 proceeds to box 450. If it is determined that the user is not logged in, process 400 proceeds to box 452. At box 450, the user is prompted that they are not in the instant messaging session and cannot be redirected. At box 452, the user is prompted to log in. At box 456, process 400 ends.

[0079] By implementing process 400, users with document editing permissions can view relevant real-time messages based on their permissions, thus enhancing security. Users with editing permissions can flexibly switch between displaying messages as cards or links, and the viewing experience for other users will change synchronously after the action, providing a more personalized user experience.

[0080] In some embodiments, when obtaining a link to an instant message from a session window, a message content block can be created, and the instant message link can be parsed to obtain the message content. The link type of the instant message link can also be determined, and based on the link type and message content, the message content block can be converted into a message preview content block corresponding to the link type.

[0081] In some embodiments, when retrieving a link to an instant message from a collaborative document, three operations (i) to (iii) are performed. Operation (i) may include resolving the link into a text content block in response to a copy operation of the instant message in the collaborative document, wherein the text content block includes the link to the instant message. Operation (ii) may include, in response to pasting an instant message into the current collaborative document, reading message data from a cached message service; if the user has permission to read the instant message, generating and displaying a message content block based on the text content block; otherwise, displaying the link to the instant message. Operation (iii) may include, in response to pasting an instant message into another collaborative document, retrieving message data from an instant messaging client via a message service; if the user has permission to read the instant message, generating and displaying a message content block based on the text content block; otherwise, displaying the link to the instant message.

[0082] In some embodiments, if a reply to an instant message presented in a collaborative document is triggered, the reply message is displayed in the collaborative document. In some embodiments, if a reply to an instant message presented in a collaborative document is received, operations (iv) to (vi) can be performed. Operation (iv) may include generating emoticon information within a message entry of the target message in response to an emoticon response to the target message, with the emoticon information placed at the bottom of the message entry. Operation (v) may include displaying a message including the target message content and the reply content in the collaborative document in response to a reference reply to the target message. Operation (vi) may include displaying a new message including the reply content in the collaborative document in response to a reply to the instant message. In some embodiments, the reply message may also be synchronously displayed in the session corresponding to the instant message.

[0083] In some embodiments, if the instant message is a topic message, a schedule message, or a workflow message, operations (vii) to (ix) are further included. Operation (vii) may include displaying a reply message in the instant message presented in the collaborative document when a new reply message is generated in a topic message in the session. Operation (viii) may include displaying a status change in the instant message presented in the collaborative document when a new status change is generated in a schedule message in the session. Operation (ix) may include displaying a node message in the workflow message presented in the collaborative document when a new node message is generated in a workflow message in the session. In some embodiments, the workflow message may be an approval flow, an email string, etc. When a new approval item is added to a node of the approval flow, the resulting item change is synchronized to the document. Correspondingly, synchronization is performed when a reply is generated in the email.

[0084] In some embodiments, the instant message presented in the collaborative document may also include the sender's user identification information. If an action is triggered on the user identification information, the user's contact card is displayed. If a preset control in the contact card is triggered, an instant messaging session window with the user is displayed.

[0085] In some embodiments, if the instant message includes a link to the target collaborative document, it can be determined whether the current user has reading permissions for the target collaborative document. If the current user has reading permissions for the target collaborative document, a preview of the document corresponding to the link is displayed in the instant message. If the current user does not have reading permissions for the target collaborative document, the link is displayed in the instant message.
