Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of computer technology, and more particularly to an information processing method, apparatus, electronic device, and storage medium. Background Art

[0002] Documents serve as carriers of information and facilitate its circulation; they are also essential tools within office software. Documents can be online, allowing multiple collaborators to share them, thus enabling collaborative work. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This disclosure provides an information processing method, apparatus, electronic device, and storage medium.

[0004] The following technical solution is adopted in this disclosure.

[0005] In some embodiments, this disclosure provides an information processing method, including:

[0006] In response to the first operation event, a source synchronization block is created in the first document;

[0007] In response to the second operation event, a reference synchronization block that has a synchronization relationship with the source synchronization block is generated in the second document;

[0008] The synchronization relationship includes: the content in the source synchronization block and the reference synchronization block are the same; updates to the content in the source synchronization block will be synchronized to the content in the reference synchronization block; updates to the content in the reference synchronization block will be synchronized to the content in the source synchronization block.

[0009] In some embodiments, this disclosure provides an information processing apparatus, including:

[0010] Create a unit to create a source synchronization block in the first document in response to the first operation event;

[0011] A generation unit is configured to generate, in response to a second operation event, a reference synchronization block in a second document that has a synchronization relationship with the source synchronization block;

[0012] The synchronization relationship includes: the content in the source synchronization block and the reference synchronization block are the same; updates to the content in the source synchronization block will be synchronized to the content in the reference synchronization block; updates to the content in the reference synchronization block will be synchronized to the content in the source synchronization block.

[0013] In some embodiments, this disclosure provides an electronic device, including: at least one memory and at least one processor;

[0014] The memory is used to store program code, and the processor is used to call the program code stored in the memory to execute the above method.

[0015] In some embodiments, this disclosure provides a computer-readable storage medium for storing program code that, when run by a processor, causes the processor to perform the methods described above.

[0016] In this embodiment of the disclosure, mutual synchronization between the source synchronization block and the reference synchronization block is achieved without synchronizing other content in the first and second documents (e.g., content in the content blocks of other non-synchronized blocks). This achieves module-level information synchronization and flow in the document, which reduces the granularity of information flow compared to document-level information flow.

[0034] Documents serve as carriers of information recording and circulation, and are also important tools for creation and collaboration in office software. To facilitate collaboration among different users, some technologies utilize collaborative online documents, allowing different users to collaborate on the same online document. However, this collaboration is granular at the document level, and its ability to achieve document-level collaboration is not flexible or sufficient for the flow of information.

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 This is a flowchart of an information processing method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, which includes the following steps.

[0036] S11. In response to the first operation event, create a source synchronization block in the first document.

[0037] S12. In response to the second operation event, generate a reference synchronization block in the second document that has a synchronization relationship with the source synchronization block.

[0038] In some embodiments, the first operation event can be an operation event executed in the first document, and the second operation event can be an operation event executed in the second document. The first and second documents can be online documents. Both source synchronization blocks and reference synchronization blocks are synchronization blocks, and they have a synchronization relationship with each other. In some embodiments, a synchronization block is a special type of content block. A content block is the basic unit in a document that carries the document's content; a document has one or more content blocks, and the document content is located within the content blocks. Synchronization blocks are used to help users synchronize information between different documents. A source synchronization block is the initial entity form of a synchronization block; the creation of a source synchronization block does not depend on other synchronization blocks. A reference synchronization block is the entity form of a source synchronization block after it has been synchronized, referenced, or shared; the creation of a reference synchronization block directly or indirectly depends on the source synchronization block. In some embodiments, a reference synchronization block has a synchronization relationship with only one source synchronization block, while a source synchronization block can have a synchronization relationship with one or more reference synchronization blocks. In some embodiments, the synchronization relationship includes: the content in the source synchronization block and the reference synchronization block remains the same; an update to the content in the source synchronization block will be synchronized to the content in the reference synchronization block, thereby performing the same update to the content in the reference synchronization block; an update to the content in the reference synchronization block will be synchronized to the content in the source synchronization block, thereby performing the same update to the content in the source synchronization block.

[0039] In some embodiments of this disclosure, a source synchronization block is created in the first document, and a reference synchronization block is created in the second document. A synchronization block is a special type of content block, serving as the basic unit carrying document content. One or more content blocks exist in both the first and second documents. When document content is written, it is written into a content block. Regular content blocks do not synchronize their content. A synchronization block can contain document content. The content of the source synchronization block is synchronized with the content of the reference synchronization block. Thus, modifications to the source synchronization block in the first document will automatically modify the reference synchronization block. The content of other non-synchronized content blocks in the first document will not be synchronized with the content of non-synchronized content blocks in the second document. Similarly, modifications to the source synchronization block in the second document will automatically modify the reference synchronization block. The content of other non-synchronized content blocks in the first document will not be synchronized with the content of non-synchronized content blocks in the second document. In this disclosure, the document content in the first and second documents, excluding the content of the source and reference synchronization blocks, does not need to be synchronized, thus achieving module-level synchronization. In this embodiment of the disclosure, module-level mutual synchronization between the source synchronization block and the reference synchronization block is achieved without synchronizing other content in the first and second documents (e.g., content in the content blocks of other non-synchronized blocks), thereby realizing module-level information synchronization and flow in the document and reducing the granularity of information transmission.

[0040] In some embodiments of this disclosure, creating a source synchronization block in a first document in response to a first operation event includes: creating an empty source synchronization block in the first document in response to a triggering operation on a first control of the first document. In some embodiments, such as... Figure 2 As shown, in the first document, the control entry point can be triggered in a blank area. Figure 2 (A box with a plus sign inside), then displays a list of controls, with the first control in the list ( Figure 2 The "Synchronization Block" in the left-hand box can be accessed by clicking this first control, such as... Figure 3 As shown, an empty source synchronization block is created in the first document. Figure 3 (The dashed box in the middle), and can automatically display the input identifier in the source synchronization block.

[0041] In some embodiments of this disclosure, creating a source synchronization block in a first document in response to a first operation event includes: converting the first content block into a source synchronization block in response to a triggering operation of a second control associated with a first content block of the first document, wherein the source synchronization block in the first document contains the original first content of the first content block. In some embodiments, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the first content block ( Figure 4The dashed box containing "BBBBB" represents the content block of the asynchronous block. The first content block has an associated list of controls. This list can be displayed by triggering the control entry point of the first content block, and then the second control can be displayed within the list. Figure 4 The second control (used in the context of "synchronization block") is used to convert the type of the content block. By triggering the second control, the content block can be synchronized as follows: Figure 5 As shown, the first content block is converted into a source synchronization block, and the content in the source synchronization block is the original document content in the first content block, i.e., the first content ( Figure 4 (in "BBBBB").

[0042] In some embodiments of this disclosure, creating a source synchronization block in a first document in response to a first operation event includes: displaying a third control associated with the second content in response to a preset operation on second content in the first document; and creating a source synchronization block in the first document, the source synchronization block containing the second content, in response to a trigger operation on the third control. In some embodiments, such as... Figure 6 As shown, the second content is the document content of the first document. A default operation could be, for example, selecting the second content by dragging the mouse. Figure 6 The second content ("CCC") can be part or all of the content in an asynchronous block. After performing a preset operation on the second content, a list of controls for the second content will be displayed. This list includes conversion controls. The third control can be a control from the conversion controls used to convert the document content into a synchronous block. Figure 7 (The "synchronization block" in the text). Then, as shown... Figure 8 As shown, a source synchronization block will be generated, and the second content will be located in the source synchronization block.

[0043] In some embodiments of this disclosure, in response to a user performing a first operation event who does not have editing permissions for the first document, the creation of a source synchronization block in the first document is refused. In some embodiments, a user with editing permissions for the first document can edit the document content of the first document, because creating a source synchronization block involves editing the document content of the first document, thus requiring editing permissions to edit the first document; otherwise, the creation of a source synchronization block in the first document is refused.

[0044] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the method further includes: granting permissions to the user of the first document to the source synchronization block, wherein the user of the first document has the same permissions to the source synchronization block as the user of the first document has the same permissions to the first document.

[0045] In some embodiments, after the source synchronization block is created, the permission settings for the source synchronization block inherit the permission settings of the first document by default. The user's permissions for the first document can be read, editable, etc. Editable permissions include readable permissions. If the user has readable or editable permissions for the first document, then after the source synchronization block is established, the user will automatically have readable or editable permissions for the source synchronization block.

[0046] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the content in the source synchronization block and the reference synchronization block includes one or more of the following: text, images, videos, documents, tables, and content blocks from non-synchronization blocks. The content block is the basic unit carrying document content. In some embodiments of this disclosure, document content can be written into the source synchronization block and the reference synchronization block, and content blocks that are not synchronization blocks (including source synchronization blocks and reference synchronization blocks) can also be written into them. Document content can be further written into these content blocks. The content in the source synchronization block and the reference synchronization block does not include: other source synchronization blocks and other reference synchronization blocks. That is, one synchronization block cannot be inserted into another synchronization block.

[0047] In some embodiments of this disclosure, in response to a user having comment permissions on the document containing the target synchronization block, the user is granted comment permissions on the target synchronization block within that document; in other embodiments, in response to a user not having comment permissions on the document containing the target synchronization block, the user is not granted comment permissions on the target synchronization block within that document. In some embodiments, the target synchronization block is either the source synchronization block or the referenced synchronization block; that is, only users with comment permissions on the first document also have comment permissions on the source synchronization block, and if they do not have comment permissions on the first document, they also do not have comment permissions on the source synchronization block. Only users with comment permissions on the second document have comment permissions on the source synchronization block, and if they do not have comment permissions on the second document, they also do not have comment permissions on the referenced synchronization block.

[0048] In some embodiments of this disclosure, in response to a comment operation on the content of the target synchronization block, comment information is displayed in the document containing the commented content, and at least one of the following is performed: the comment information is not synchronized to other documents, and a notification message is sent to the associated user of the document containing the commented content. In some embodiments, comments on the target synchronization block are mounted on the target synchronization block. Users with permission to view comments in a first document can view comment information on the content of the source content block, and users with permission to view comments in a second document can view comment information on the content of the referenced content block. Comment information is not synchronized. Comment information on the content of the source synchronization block in the first document is only displayed in the first document containing the source document and is not synchronized to the referenced synchronization block or the document containing the referenced synchronization block. A notification message is sent to the user associated with the comment information in the first document. Similarly, comments on the referenced synchronization block in the second document are not synchronized to the source synchronization block or the first document containing the source synchronization block, and a notification message is sent to the user associated with the comment information in the second document.

[0049] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the second operation event includes: copying the source synchronization block or a link of the source synchronization block into the second document; or copying another reference synchronization block or a link of the other reference synchronization block into the second document, wherein the other reference synchronization block has a synchronization relationship with the source synchronization block in the first document.

[0050] In some embodiments, after generating the source synchronization block, if a reference synchronization block has not yet been generated, the source synchronization block or its link can be copied and then pasted into the second document to generate the reference synchronization block. In other embodiments, after generating the source synchronization block, if another reference synchronization block has already been generated by copying the source synchronization block or its link, this other synchronization block or its link can be copied and pasted into the second document to generate a reference synchronization block in the second document. The synchronization relationship of this reference synchronization block depends on the synchronization relationship of the other reference synchronization block. Because the other reference synchronization block has a synchronization relationship with the source synchronization block, the reference synchronization block in the second document has a synchronization relationship with the source synchronization block.

[0051] In some embodiments of this disclosure, after the second operation event and before generating a reference synchronization block in the second document that has a synchronization relationship with the source synchronization block, the method further includes: determining the access permissions of the user executing the second operation event to the second document.

[0052] In some embodiments, in response to a user performing the second operation event not having editing permissions on the second document, the generation of the reference synchronization block is refused. In some embodiments, generating the reference synchronization block in the second document is an editing of the second document; therefore, editing permissions on the second document are required to generate the reference synchronization block; otherwise, the reference synchronization block cannot be generated in the second document.

[0053] In some embodiments, in response to the user performing the second operation event having editing permissions for the second document, it is determined whether the user performing the second operation event has reading permissions for the source synchronization block; in response to the user performing the second operation event having reading permissions for the source synchronization block, the step of generating a reference synchronization block in the second document that has a synchronization relationship with the source synchronization block is executed; or, in response to the user performing the second operation event having editing permissions for the second document but not reading permissions for the source synchronization block, a link to the source synchronization block is displayed in the second document without generating the reference synchronization block.

[0054] In some embodiments, if the user performing the second operation event has editing permissions for the second document, it is necessary to further determine whether they have reading permissions for the source synchronization block. If so, a reference synchronization block is generated in response to the second operation event. If not, no reference synchronization block is generated; instead, a link to the source synchronization block is generated in the second document in response to the second operation event. Because the user does not have permission to read the source synchronization block, a reference synchronization block cannot be generated; otherwise, the content in the source synchronization block might be leaked due to the existence of the synchronization relationship.

[0055] In some embodiments of this disclosure, after the link to the source synchronization block is displayed in the second document, the method further includes: in response to an access operation to the link to the source synchronization block, determining whether the user performing the access operation has reading permission for the source synchronization block; in response to the user performing the access operation having access permission for the source synchronization block, redirecting to a separate access page for the source synchronization block; or, in response to the user performing the access operation not having reading permission for the source synchronization block, redirecting to a permission request page, the permission request page being used to request permission for the source synchronization block.

[0056] In some embodiments, because the user performing the second operation event does not have read permission to the source synchronization block, a link to the source synchronization block is displayed in the second document. This user, or other users, can then access the source synchronization block by clicking the link (access operation). If the user performing the access operation has access permission to the source synchronization block (e.g., read permission), the content of the source synchronization block will be displayed on a separate page, thus avoiding the disclosure of other content in the first document. If the user does not have read permission to the source synchronization block, they will be redirected to a permission request page to apply for access permission to the source synchronization block.

[0057] In some embodiments of this disclosure, after generating a reference synchronization block that has a synchronization relationship with the source synchronization block in the second document, the method further includes: determining whether the user performing the second operation event has management collaborator permissions for the reference synchronization block.

[0058] In some embodiments, in response to a user performing a second operation event having management collaborator permissions for the referenced synchronization block, the collaborator of the second document is granted read permission for the referenced synchronization block. In some embodiments, after creating a referenced synchronization block in the second document, if the user performing the second operation event has management collaborator permissions, indicating that they can manage the collaborators of the referenced synchronization block, and management collaborator permissions take precedence over edit and read permissions, then after the user creates the referenced synchronization block in the second document, they are by default granted read permission for the referenced synchronization block to the collaborators of the second document, making the collaborators of the second document also collaborators of the referenced synchronization block. Furthermore, the user performing the second operation event can manually manage the collaborators' permissions for the referenced synchronization block, for example, switching the collaborators' permissions to editable or manageable permissions. Here, a collaborator of a document is a user who has at least the permission to read the document. After granting read permission for the referenced synchronization block to the collaborators of the second document, a notification is sent to the owner of the source synchronization block, the user with management permissions for the source synchronization block, and the user with management permissions for the referenced synchronization block.

[0059] In some embodiments, in response to the user performing the second operation event not having management collaborator permissions for the referenced synchronization block, the user performing the second operation event among the collaborators of the second document is allowed to view the referenced synchronization block; alternatively, the user performing the second operation event among the collaborators of the second document is allowed to view the referenced synchronization block, and a first prompt message is displayed to inform other collaborators of the second document that they cannot view the referenced synchronization block. In some embodiments, because the user performing the second operation event does not have management collaborator permissions, they cannot add other users as collaborators of the referenced synchronization block. Therefore, only this user can view the referenced synchronization block, and other collaborators of the second document are not automatically granted reading permissions for the referenced synchronization block. A first prompt message is displayed to inform this user that some or all collaborators of the second document cannot see the content of the referenced synchronization block, and this user can apply for permissions for the referenced synchronization block for the collaborators of the second document.

[0060] In some embodiments, copying and pasting a source synchronization block, a reference synchronization block, a link to the source synchronization block, or a link to the reference synchronization block into the first document will generate a reference synchronization block in the first document that has a synchronization relationship with the source synchronization block. However, since it is located in the same document as the source synchronization block, it will not trigger other users to authorize the source synchronization block, and therefore no notification message will be sent due to authorization.

[0061] In some embodiments of this disclosure, in response to the deletion of the source synchronization block in the first document, first preset content is displayed at the location of the referenced synchronization block in the second document.

[0062] In some embodiments of this disclosure, such as Figure 14 As shown, if the second document is opened, the status of the synchronization blocks (source synchronization block and reference synchronization block) will be determined. If the source synchronization block is deleted, the reference synchronization block will not be displayed in the second document, and a fallback effect indicating that the source synchronization block has been deleted (first preset content) will be displayed in the location where the reference synchronization block was. Figure 9 The first preset content, "The synchronization block has been deleted from the source document," is illustrated in the image. The source document refers to the first document containing the source synchronization block.

[0063] In some embodiments of this disclosure, in response to desynchronizing the source synchronization block and the reference synchronization block in the first document, the reference synchronization block is not displayed in the second document, and second preset content is displayed at the location of the reference synchronization block. In some embodiments, if the synchronization relationship between the source synchronization block and all reference synchronization blocks is desynchronized in the first document, the reference synchronization block is replaced by second preset content in the second document. The second preset content may be the same as or different from the first preset content. By displaying the second preset content instead of displaying the content in the source synchronization block, the content of the source synchronization block is avoided from being leaked.

[0064] In some embodiments of this disclosure, in response to a user having reading permission for the target synchronization block, the target synchronization block is displayed; in response to a user not having reading permission for the target synchronization block, the target synchronization block is not displayed, and third preset content is displayed at the original location of the target synchronization block, wherein the target synchronization block is the source synchronization block or the reference synchronization block.

[0065] In some embodiments, if a user does not have reading permissions to view the source synchronization block or reference synchronization block in the first or second document, then third preset content will be displayed, such as... Figure 10 As shown, the third preset content can be to inform the user that they do not have access permission to access the target synchronization block, and the third preset content can contain an entry point for requesting access permission to the target synchronization block.

[0066] In some embodiments of this disclosure, in response to a user having reading permission for the first document, the user is granted reading permission for the target synchronization block; in some embodiments of this disclosure, in response to a user having editing permission for the first document, the user is granted editing permission for the target synchronization block; in some embodiments of this disclosure, in response to a user having independent authorization for the target synchronization block, the user's permission for the target synchronization block is determined based on the independent authorization; in some embodiments of this disclosure, a user who does not have reading permission for the first document or independent authorization for the target synchronization block does not have access permission for the target synchronization block; wherein, a user with reading permission or editing permission for the target synchronization block has access permission for the target synchronization block, and the target synchronization block is the source synchronization block or the reference synchronization block.

[0067] In some embodiments, such as Figure 14As shown, when the target synchronization block is in a normal state, a user's permissions for the source synchronization block or referenced synchronization block inherit the user's permissions for the first document containing the source synchronization block. Therefore, if a user can edit or read the first document, they can edit or read the source synchronization block or referenced synchronization block (editing permissions include reading permissions). If a user cannot read the first document, the system will further determine whether they have independent authorization for the source synchronization block or referenced synchronization block. If they have independent reading or editing permissions for the source synchronization block or referenced synchronization block, they can read or edit the source synchronization block or referenced synchronization block.

[0068] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the method further includes: displaying a list of synchronized documents in response to a third operation event of a fourth control associated with a target synchronization block, wherein the target synchronization block is a source synchronization block or a reference synchronization block, and the list of synchronized documents includes: document identifiers of documents having the source synchronization block, and document identifiers of documents having the reference synchronization block.

[0069] In some embodiments, such as Figure 11 As shown, clicking or other triggering operations on the fourth control associated with the source synchronization block in the first document (i.e., the source document) or the reference synchronization block in the second document (i.e., the host document) can display a list of synchronized documents, thereby informing the user which documents the content of the source synchronization block has been synchronized to.

[0070] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the fourth control is displayed in response to a user having read permission to access the target synchronization block. In some embodiments, only users with read permission to the target synchronization block can view the fourth control associated with the target synchronization block.

[0071] In some embodiments of this disclosure, document identifiers that the user performing the third operation event has viewing permission are displayed in the synchronized document list. In some embodiments, only document identifiers that the user has the right to view are displayed in the synchronized document list to avoid information leakage. In some embodiments of this disclosure, a second prompt message is displayed in the synchronized document list to indicate the number of document identifiers that are not displayed.

[0072] In some embodiments of this disclosure, in response to the termination of the synchronization relationship of the target synchronization block, the fourth control associated with the synchronization block is not displayed. In some embodiments, if the synchronization relationship of the target synchronization block is terminated, there are no other synchronization blocks synchronized with it, and therefore there is no need to display the fourth control.

[0073] The fourth control displays the number of document identifiers in the synchronized document list; in some embodiments, such as Figure 11As shown, the fourth control displays "6 locations are already synchronized," thus informing the user how many documents have synchronized blocks (including source synchronized blocks and reference synchronized blocks).

[0074] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the document identifier of the first document containing the source synchronization block in the synchronized document list is associated with a first tag; in some embodiments, the document identifier of the current document containing the target synchronization block in the synchronized document list is associated with a second tag. In some embodiments, such as... Figure 11 As shown, the first document in the synchronized document list displays "Source Document" to the right, indicating that it is the document containing the source synchronization block, and "Current Document" is displayed, indicating that it is the document that the user is currently accessing.

[0075] In some embodiments of this disclosure, in response to a fourth operation event on a document identifier in the synchronized document list, the document pointed to by the document identifier to which the fourth operation event is performed is opened and the target synchronization block within that document is located. In some embodiments, the fourth operation event may be clicking on a document identifier, which opens the document pointed to by the document identifier and locates the target synchronization block within it.

[0076] In some embodiments, in the synchronized document list, the document identifiers of the first document and the current document are displayed first, in the order of first document, current document, and other documents. If a document has multiple synchronized blocks, the document identifier of that document is displayed only once. If the document pointed to by the document identifier to which the fourth operation event is performed has multiple synchronized blocks, the position of the most recently synchronized content is determined.

[0077] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the method further includes: in response to a fifth operation event based on the source synchronization block, releasing the synchronization relationship between the source synchronization block and all the referenced synchronization blocks. In some embodiments, as shown in 12, the source synchronization block may have a control for releasing its synchronization relationship with all referenced synchronization blocks. By triggering this control, the synchronization relationship between the source synchronization block and each referenced synchronization block will be released, and content synchronization will no longer be maintained. When releasing the synchronization relationship between the source synchronization block and all the referenced synchronization blocks, a pop-up window may be displayed for user confirmation, and the synchronization relationship with all referenced synchronization blocks will be released only after confirmation.

[0078] In some embodiments of this disclosure, in response to a user performing the fifth operation event who does not have editing permissions for the first document, the user refuses to release the synchronization relationship between the source synchronization block and all the referenced synchronization blocks. In some embodiments, releasing the synchronization relationship means that the document content in the first document has changed, thus requiring editing permissions for the first document.

[0079] In some embodiments of this disclosure, after desynchronizing the source synchronization block with all the referenced synchronization blocks, the content of the source synchronization block is converted into the content of an asynchronous block in the first document. In some embodiments, after desynchronizing the source synchronization block with all the referenced synchronization blocks, the source synchronization block becomes a normal content block of the asynchronous block type. The content in this content block is the original content in the source synchronization block, but it is not synchronized with the content of the referenced synchronization blocks.

[0080] In some embodiments of this disclosure, after the synchronization relationship between the source synchronization block and all the referenced synchronization blocks is terminated, the link to the source synchronization block becomes inaccessible. Because the source synchronization block is now a regular content block, its link is invalid and cannot be accessed.

[0081] In some embodiments of this disclosure, after the synchronization relationship between the source synchronization block and all the reference synchronization blocks is released, in response to the link of the source synchronization block being pasted into the third document, no reference synchronization block is generated in the third document. Because the source synchronization block is now a regular content block, no reference synchronization block is generated, and the pasted link can simply be displayed as a link.

[0082] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the method further includes: in response to the operation of undoing the fifth operation event, restoring the synchronization relationship between the source synchronization block and all the referenced synchronization blocks. In some embodiments, the source synchronization block that has become a normal content block can be restored through rollback, undo, or other operations, and the synchronization relationship will also be restored.

[0083] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the method further includes: in response to a sixth operation event based on a reference synchronization block in the second document, releasing the synchronization relationship between the reference synchronization block in the second document and the source synchronization block.

[0084] In some embodiments, such as Figure 13 As shown, the synchronization relationship between a referenced synchronization block and the source synchronization block in the second document can be removed individually. In this case, the synchronization relationship between the source synchronization block and other referenced synchronization blocks will remain. When removing the synchronization relationship between the referenced synchronization block and the source synchronization block in the second document, a pop-up window will prompt you to confirm the removal. The synchronization relationship will be removed only after confirmation.

[0085] In some embodiments of this disclosure, in response to a user executing the sixth operation event not having editing permissions for the second document or copy permissions for the referenced synchronization block, the synchronization relationship between the referenced synchronization block and the source synchronization block in the second document is refused. In some embodiments, because the sixth operation event changes the type of the referenced synchronization block in the second document to a regular content block, involving editing operations, editing permissions are required. After executing the sixth operation event, the content of the referenced synchronization block remains in its transformed regular content block state, essentially copying the content of the referenced synchronization block into the second document; therefore, copy permissions for the referenced synchronization block are required. If both permissions are present, the synchronization relationship between the referenced synchronization block and the source synchronization block in the second document can be terminated; otherwise, the synchronization relationship cannot be terminated.

[0086] In some embodiments of this disclosure, after the synchronization relationship between the referenced synchronization block and the source synchronization block in the second document is broken, the content of the referenced synchronization block in the second document is converted into the content of a non-referenced synchronization block. In some embodiments, it becomes the content of a normal content block of a non-synchronized block and can continue to be displayed in the second document, but is not synchronized with the source synchronization block.

[0087] In some embodiments of this disclosure, after the synchronization relationship between the referenced synchronization block and the source synchronization block in the second document is terminated, the second document is no longer displayed in the synchronized document list. It should be noted that if there are multiple referenced synchronization blocks in the second document, and only some of them are terminated from synchronization with the source document, but some still maintain synchronization with the source document, the document identifier of the second document will still be displayed in the synchronized document list. If all referenced synchronization blocks in the second document are terminated from synchronization with the source synchronization block, the document identifier of the second document will not be displayed in the synchronized document list.

[0088] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the method further includes: in response to the operation of undoing the sixth operation event, restoring the reference synchronization block in the second document and the synchronization relationship between the reference synchronization block and the source synchronization block.

[0089] In some embodiments, the referenced synchronization block that has become a normal content block can be restored by means of retraction, rollback of history, etc., and the synchronization relationship with the source synchronization block can be restored.
