System for predicting document reuse

A system and method for identifying relevant content from other documents and presenting candidate documents in a document authoring application is described. The system identifies a pattern of events from the document authoring application. The system receives a request to identify candidate documents pertinent to a document present in the document authoring application. A set of candidate documents is identified from a document library based on the pattern of events, a reuse score for each candidate document, a similarity score for each candidate document, and content in the document present in the document authoring application. The set of candidate documents is provided in a user interface element of the document authoring application.
