1. A system for managing hierarchical content from a plurality of messages comprising:
- a document composition server comprising a processing unit in communication with a first non-transitory computer readable medium having a message database containing the plurality of messages stored on the first non-transitory computer readable medium;
computer executable instructions stored on a second non-transitory computer readable medium in communication with the processing unit for;
displaying a user interface with a navigation widget and a message list, the navigation widget having a plurality of sections of which one is shown, each section having a plurality of message zones for receiving message content from the message database, the message list displaying messages specific to the shown section;
in response to receiving input to edit a message from the message list, setting message content of the message being edited as customized, inherited, or suppressed, wherein an inherited message content has the same content as a selected higher level in the hierarchical content and a suppressed message content does not have the same contents of any higher levels in the hierarchical content;
in response to receiving input selecting a message zone in the shown section, updating the message list to show only those messages specific to the selected message zone from the message database, each entry in the message list indicating whether message content of the message has been customized, inherited, or suppressed from higher levels in the hierarchical content;
in response to receiving input selecting a message from the message list, rendering the message content in the message zone for the selected message; and
in response to receiving input on a button on the user interface, displaying a list of targeting rules, wherein the targeting rules identify a group of recipients.

Abstract
A method and system for managing hierarchical content having a plurality of messages where a navigation widget with message zones receives messages from a message database. When a message zone is selected, a message list is updated to show only those messages specific to that message zone. When a message from the message list is selected, the message zone renders a preview of the selected message within the message zone.

10. A machine-implemented method for managing hierarchical content from a plurality of messages comprising:
-
providing a message database containing the plurality of messages on a first non-transitory computer readable medium accessible by a document composition server; displaying a user interface with a navigation widget and a message list, the navigation widget having a plurality of sections of which one is shown, each section having a plurality of message zones for receiving message content from the message database, the message list displaying messages specific to the shown section; in response to receiving input to edit a message from the message list, setting message content of the message being edited as customized, inherited, or suppressed, wherein an inherited message content has the same content as a selected higher level in the hierarchical content and a suppressed message content does not have the same contents of any higher levels in the hierarchical content; in response to receiving input selecting a message zone in the shown section, updating the message list to show only those messages specific to the selected message zone from the message database, each entry in the message list indicating whether message content of the message has been customized, inherited, or suppressed from higher levels in the hierarchical content; in response to receiving input selecting a message from the message list, rendering the message content in the message zone for the selected message; and in response to receiving input on a button on the user interface, displaying a list of targeting rules, wherein the targeting rules identify a group of recipients. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
