Collaborative environment supporting off-line editing of shared documents

The invention relates to a collaborative environment supporting off-line editing of shared documents. The disclosure describes document collaboration methods and systems that allow multiple users to create and edit documents. Such methods and systems may support devices that receive and process edits of one or more documents when the devices are offline with respect to a document collaboration service. These methods and systems may use a network-based storage system (e.g., a "cloud storage platform") to store a document (e.g., a "cloud storage document") representing a recent collaboration status of the document based on edits received from a user who is (or has been) using a document collaboration service while one or more other users are offline. 本公开涉及支持共享文档的脱机编辑的协作环境。本公开描述了允许多个用户创建和编辑文档的文档协作方法和系统。此类方法和系统可支持在设备相对于文档协作服务是脱机的时接收和处理对一个或多个文档的编辑的设备。这些方法和系统可使用基于网络的存储系统(例如，"云存储平台")来存储基于在一个或多个其他用户脱机时从正在(或已经)使用文档协作服务的用户接收的编辑的表示该文档的最近协作状态的文档(例如，"云存储文档")。
