Collaborative task management and completion

Abstract:

An interface for editing content items permits users to enter tasks and designate metadata relating to the tasks, such as an assigned user for the task, a deadline for the task, and a category of the task. A content item browser presents content items to a user along with a summary of the task completion of tasks within the content item. The summary of task completion may be limited to tasks matching a search query. This permits a user to identify content items and tasks related to the search query from the content item browser, without entering an interface for modifying the content item.
