A collaborative development service manages a document that can be shared among multiple users. If multiple users are editing the document, the edits may need to have operational transformation rules applied thereon. The collaborative development service provides operational transformation rules to users of mobile devices that do not have copies of the operational transformation rules stored on their devices. When a change to the document is received by the collaborative development service, it is determined that a first user device has operational transformation capability. In response to determining that the first user device has operational transformation capability, the change is transmitted to the first user. The collaborative development service determines that a second user device does not have operational transformation capability and applies an operational transformation to the change to generate a transformed change. The transformed change is transmitted to the second user device.
