Systems and methods for providing status indicators for various forms of user activity that occurs across different digital contexts of a collaboration platform. A system can monitor activity that a particular user is performing within a particular digital context and provide status indicators to a different user within a different digital context when the monitored activity meets one or more criteria. For example, a system may cause a status indicator to be displayed in association with a data object within the digital context of a message thread when a specific type of user activity is occurring with respect to that data object within the digital context of an application that facilitates editing of the content of the data object. Thus, a system can deliver timely and contextually relevant status indicators about how team members are currently interacting with a data object without users having to switch between digital contexts.
