Interactive splitting of entries in social collaboration environments
View Patent ↗A method for interactive splitting of a post of a social collaborative environment is provided. The method comprises, in response to a selection of a portion of the post, splitting the post at a location of at least one of a boundary of the selection or within the selection into a first segment and a second segment. A tool is utilized to split the post at the location of at least one of the boundary of the selection or within the selection into the first segment and the second segment. An input box configured to receive a response to the post is presented in an interactive post editing interface of the post, wherein the presentation of the input box occurs in a space defined between the first segment and the second segment. The response can be inserted in the space defined between the first segment and the second segment.

6. The computer-implemented method according to claim 1 , further including the steps of:
utilizing, by the one or more processors, a tool to split the post at the location of at least one of the boundary of the selection or within the selection into the first segment and the second segment; and
detecting, by the one or more processors, activities of the tool to split the post at the location of at least one of the boundary of the selection or within the selection into the first segment and the second segment.
7. The computer-implemented method of claim 6 , wherein the step of utilizing, by the one or more processors, a tool to split the post at the location of at least one of the boundary of the selection or within the selection into the first segment and the second segment is triggered by selection of at least one text or at least one image of the post.
8. A computer system for interactive splitting of a post of a social collaborative environment, the system comprising:
a computer system comprising, a processor, a computer readable storage medium, and program instructions stored on the computer readable storage medium being executable by the processor to cause the computer system to:
in response to a selection of a post in a social media collaborative environment, wherein the portion of the post is a text entry, split the post at a location of at least one of a boundary of the selection or within the selection into a first segment and a second segment;
present an input box configured to receive a response to the post, wherein the presentation of the input box occurs in a space defined between the first segment and the second segment; and
insert the response in the space defined between the first segment and the second segment.
9. The computer system of claim 8 , wherein splitting the post at a location of at least one of a boundary of the selection or within the selection into a first segment and a second segment in response to a selection of a portion of the post, further comprises program instructions to:
include a reply to the response of the post in the space defined between the first segment and the second segment in response to another selection of another portion of the post.
10. The computer system according to claim 9 , wherein a selection point of the other selection of the other portion of the post is one of the first segment, the second segment, or in the reply to the response of the post.
11. The computer system according to claim 8 , wherein the selection of the portion of the post is performed by at least one user of the post.
12. The computer system according to claim 8 , splitting the post at a location of at least one of a boundary of the selection or within the selection into a first segment and a second segment in response to a selection of a portion of the post, comprises program instructions to:
determine whether a predetermined amount of splitting of the portion of the post is reached; and
prevent splitting of the post based on a determination that the predetermined amount of splitting of the portion of the post is reached.
13. The computer system according to claim 8 , further comprising program instructions to:
utilize a tool to split the post at the location of at least one of the boundary of the selection or within the selection into the first segment and the second segment; and
detect activities of the tool to split the post at the location of at least one of the boundary of the selection or within the selection into the first segment and the second segment.
14. The computer system according to claim 13 , wherein program instructions to utilize a tool to split the post at the location of at least one of the boundary of the selection or within the selection into the first segment and the second segment is triggered by selection of at least one text or at least one image of the post.
15. A computer program product for interactive splitting of a post of a social collaborative environment, the computer program product comprising:
