Claim:
1. A computer implemented method of previewing a compiled output document, comprising: amending a source code file at a client device; receiving, at a compile server, document content in the form of amendments to the source code file, wherein said document content is transmitted from the client device to the compile server at determined intervals; automatically compiling the compiled output document at the compile server upon receipt of said amendments by transforming the source code file into a compiled file format which is different from the format of the source code file; generating and storing, by the compile server, hash values associated with each page of the compiled output document; comparing, by the compile server, the generated hash values with previously stored hash values; producing, by the compile server, page previews for individual pages of the compiled output document; and providing the page previews from the compile server to the client device for those pages associated with a generated hash value that do not match a previously stored hash value.
