5/23/2023 0 Comments A brief history of time onlineIn manufacturing lines since the 1960s, teams have tracked work progress on kanban boards with moveable cards or sticky notes. Think about scientists and mathematicians collaborating around a blackboard - or, from as early as the 1950s or before, creative and management teams doing the same with a whiteboard. People have been collaborating on shared documents long before digital technology came along. Collaboration demands freeform, dynamic content A look back at the history of collaborative documents helps explain why all of these components matter and what else may be needed to maximize their utility. Slack canvas was announced at Dreamforce last September to provide a handy virtual pinboard for all those crucial information points and links that so easily get lost in streams of messages - text, video, documents, checklists, and embedded links to content and workflows from external sources and applications. The day that Salesforce starts rolling out Slack canvas to customers of the messaging platform is a good moment to take stock of how far collaborative documents have come - and where they're heading next.
