The embodiments contemplate a system and method for the application of
concurrent edits to the same version of a text. The concurrent edits may
occur simultaneously or near simultaneously through collaborative editing
schemes, where more than one user, processor, or agent applies edits to
the version of the text. The application of the concurrent edits includes
modifying or transforming the edits to account for changes made to the
version of the text and applying the modified edits to the most recent
version of the text. As edits may change the positioning of the text, an
evaluation of the changes in the positioning of the text may be part of
the modification.
