Overview

CometChatCollaborativeDocumentBubble renders a collaborative document card — a banner image, a title, a subtitle, and an “Open Document” button. It is self-extracting: pass the SDK message and the bubble reads the document URL from the message’s extension metadata (@injected.extensions.document.document_url), so it works standalone. Clicking the button opens the document (by default in a new window).
