A method of simultaneous multiuser collaborative access to a spreadsheet includes transmitting the spreadsheet to a first device of a first user having a first privilege for a first part that includes a first cell, transmitting the spreadsheet to a second device of a second user having a second privilege for a second part, receiving a first edit of the first cell from the first device, and a second edit of the second cell from the second device, and in response to the first cell and the second cell being different, the first privilege including an edit privilege, and the second privilege including the edit privilege, accepting the first edit, accepting the second edit, forwarding the first edit for display with the first cell at the second device, and providing, to the second device, a real-time visual indication identifying the first user as a last user editing the first part.
