Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented document management system executed by a processor, comprising: a collaboration environment, including at least one of a network-based wiki or an electronic notebook, for multi-user authoring and document sharing of a collaboration document; a link component for creating a placeholder link with a title in the collaboration document, the placeholder link maps to a non-existent placeholder page, the placeholder link is denoted by a dotted underline hyperlink as a visual cue indicating the placeholder page; an identifier component for generating and including an object identifier as part of the placeholder link, the object identifier for identifying the placeholder page associated with the placeholder link; a page generation component for creating the placeholder page in response to clicking the placeholder link to navigate to the placeholder page, using the object identifier assigned to the placeholder page; a target page converted from the placeholder page upon receiving user content, wherein the placeholder link is replaced by an underlined hyperlink; a synchronization component for synchronizing and merging a modified target page to the target page based on the object identifier; and a microprocessor circuit that executes computer-executable instructions in a memory associated with at least one of the collaboration environment, the link component, or the identifier component.
