An exemplary method includes identifying at least a first threshold quantity, an elasticity factor for modifying the first threshold quantity to a second threshold quantity, and an indication of a threshold resiliency property indicating when the second threshold quantity overrides the first threshold quantity. The method includes monitoring a content edit process of user content to identify a quantity of the user content that contains sensitive data corresponding to one or more predetermined data schemes, and during the content edit process, enabling and disabling presentation of annotation indicators for the content elements based at least in part on a current quantity with regard to the first threshold quantity, the elasticity factor for the first threshold quantity when enabled, and the indication
