COMMENT NAVIGATION IN A MOBILE DOCUMENT INTERFACE

Abstract:

A collaborative content item includes an ordered set of comment threads that each correspond to a portion of the collaborative content item. When a user requests that a first new comment be displayed, a first comment thread including the first new comment is displayed within a comment interface. When the user interacts with a new comment interface element, a second comment thread including a second new comment is displayed within the comment interface and a count of remaining new comments displayed within the new comment interface element is decremented. The user can also navigate between comment threads by interacting with the comment interface in a first direction (e.g., swiping, scrolling, selecting an interface element) and can navigate within a comment thread by interacting with the comment interface in a second direction.
