First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- detecting a modification to information, the modification received from a modifying user included in a group of users sharing the information by separately viewing presentations of the information, the presentations having a first view and at least a second view;
transmitting first view data to enable altering the first view for the modifying user based on the modification whether the modification comprises a propagating change to change substance of at least one value of data included in the information, or a non-propagating change that does not change the substance;
if the modification comprises a propagating change;
transmitting second view data to enable altering the at least a second view for at least some of the group of users, not including the modifying user, based on the modification, andtransmitting refresh data to enable displaying a refresh display indicator to be activated before the at least a second view is fully updated to reflect the propagating change; and
otherwise refraining from the transmitting of the second view data.

Abstract
Apparatus, systems, and methods may operate to detect modifications made to information, the modifications received from a modifying user included in a group of users sharing the information by separately viewing presentations of the information. The presentations may have any number of views, such as a first view and at least a second view. Further actions may include transmitting first view data to enable altering the first view for the modifying user based on the modification made, whether the modification comprises a propagating change or a non-propagating change, and if the modification comprises a propagating change, transmitting second view data to enable altering at least the second view for at least some of the group of users, not including the modifying user, based on the modification. If the change is a non-propagating one, then the activity may include refraining from transmitting the second view data. Additional apparatus, systems, and methods are disclosed.

13. A computer-implemented method comprising:
-
detecting a modification to information, the modification received from a modifying user included in a group of users sharing the information by separately viewing presentations of the information, the presentations having a first view and at least a second view; modifying the first view for the modifying user whether the modification comprises a propagating change to change substance of at least one value of data included in the information, or a non-propagating change that does not change the substance; if the modification comprises a propagating change; transmitting view data to alter the at least a second view for at least some of the group of users, not including the modifying user, and transmitting refresh data to enable displaying a refresh display indicator to be activated before the at least a second view is fully updated to reflect the propagating change; and otherwise refraining from the transmitting of the view data. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)

21. A machine-readable medium having instructions stored therein, wherein the instructions, when executed, cause the machine to implement a method, the method comprising:
-
detecting a modification to information, the modification received from a modifying user included in a group of users sharing the information by separately viewing presentations of the information, the presentations having a first view and at least a second view; transmitting first view data to enable altering the first view for the modifying user based on the modification whether the modification comprises a propagating change to change substance of at least one value of data included in the information, or a non-propagating change that does not change the substance; if the modification comprises a propagating change, transmitting second view data to enable altering the at least a second view for at least some of the group of users, not including the modifying user, based on the modification; and otherwise refraining from the transmitting of the second view data. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23)

24. A computer-implemented method comprising:
-
executing instructions on a specific apparatus that result in the detection of a modification to digital electronic signals representing information, the modification received from a modifying user included in a group of users sharing the information by separately viewing presentations of the information, the presentations having a first view and at least a second view; executing instructions on a specific apparatus that result in modifying the first view for the modifying user whether the modification comprises a propagating change to change substance of digital electronic signals representing at least one value of data included in the information, or a non-propagating change that does not change the substance; and executing instructions on a specific apparatus that result in; if the modification comprises a propagating change; transmitting digital electronic signals representing view data to alter the at least a second view for at least some of the group of users, not including the modifying user, and transmitting refresh data to enable displaying a refresh display indicator to be activated before the at least a second view is fully updated to reflect the propagating change; and otherwise refraining from the transmitting of the digital electronic signals representing view data. - View Dependent Claims (25)
