ABSTRACT:
Methods, systems, and computer program products provide intelligent user interfaces based on a context or mode of a document. A method involves opening the document in a context that only facilitates reading, disabling editing commands associated with the document and/or disabling typing functionality for editing the document, and displaying a transition button via the intelligent user interface. The transition button is operative, when selected, to initiate transition of the document between the context that only facilitates reading and a context that facilitates editing. The method also involves receiving a selection of the transition button, in response to receiving the selection and transitioning from the context that only facilitates reading to the context that facilitates editing. Transitioning to the editing context includes enabling the editing commands and typing functionality. The method may also involve transitioning from the context that facilitates editing back to the context that only facilitates reading.
