Abstract

Systems and methods for generating units of work in a collaboration environment are disclosed. Exemplary implementations may: manage environment state information including work units records describing units of work assigned to individual users within the collaboration environment, individual sets of work unit records being defined by a record hierarchy, individual units of work including one or more digital content items; obtain user input information conveying user input on, or relating to, individual digital content items of the individual units of work; generate one or more work unit records based on the user input information, such that responsive to the user input information conveying first user input by a first user on, or relating to, a first digital content item, generate a second work unit record describing a second unit of work, the second work unit record being subordinate to a first work unit record; and/or perform other operations.
