at least one processor; and
a non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to:
provide, to a first client device, a collaborative content item comprising a text display state and a render display state, wherein the render display state of the collaborative content item comprises a graphical representation based on source text within the text display state;
provide, to the first client device, the collaborative content item in the render display state, wherein the render display state causes the first client device to render the source text to generate a display of the graphical representation of the collaborative content item;
provide, for display on the first client device, a visual indication corresponding to the graphical representation and without displaying the source text, the visual indication based on a second client device modifying the source text of the collaborative content item;
receive, from a second client device, updated source text for the collaborative content item; and
provide, to the first client device, the updated source text for the collaborative content item, wherein providing the updated source text causes the first client device to:
