presenting a notification that indicates that the media object includes the reference to the user account at a client device associated with the user account responsive to receiving the media object that includes the reference to the user account;

receiving an input that selects the notification from the client device;

determining a set of user actions based on a permission granted to user accounts referenced within the media object;

causing display of a menu element that includes a display of the set of user actions at the client device based on the media object including the reference to the user account;

receiving a selection of the menu element; and

presenting a collection of collaborative content associated with the media object responsive to the selection of the menu element.

14. The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 13 , wherein the determining the set of user actions based on the permission associated with the media object includes:

determining the permission associated with the media object based on attributes associated with the media object.

15. The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 13 , wherein the media object is a first media object, and the method further comprises:

receiving a selection of a user action from among the set of user actions; and

generating a second media object based on the first media object responsive to the selection of the user action.

16. The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the generating the second media object includes:

accessing image data at the client device; and
