Summary:A collaborative editing environment is configured to display a modification to a document made by a user in a first user-style. The style of the modification is gradually transformed from the first user-style to a document-style, such that the style in which the modification is displayed provides an indication as to authorship and recency of the modification. The transformation can occur gradually over a first configurable time period. A second modification to a document made by a second user is displayed in a style associated with the second user. The display of the second modification is also transformed from the second user-style to the document style. The transformation of the display of the first modification and the transformation of the display of the second modification can be performed concurrently, and the duration of the first transformation can be different from the duration of the second transformation.
