# Activity Log

The Activity Log is a running record of the meaningful changes made across your organization — who did what, and when. Use it to answer questions like "who revoked this API key?", "when was this member's entitlement granted?", or "what changed in our settings last week?".

Go to **Activity Log** in the navigation to open it. The Activity Log is available to administrators only.

Who can see the Activity Log

Viewing the Activity Log requires the **Admin** role — the same access that governs organization settings. Members and Viewers do not see it. See [Permissions](/product/administration/permissions.md).

## Reading the log[​](#reading-the-log "Direct link to Reading the log")

Each row is one recorded change. The list is newest-first and shows:

| Column       | What it shows                                                                                     |
| ------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **When**     | How long ago the change happened (for example, "2 hours ago").                                    |
| **Actor**    | Who made the change — a team member's name, an **API key**, or **System** for automated activity. |
| **Category** | The area of the product the change belongs to (see [Categories](#categories)).                    |
| **Activity** | A one-line description of what happened, along with the specific item it affected.                |
| **Details**  | A button that opens the full entry.                                                               |

When a team member acts through an API token rather than the dashboard, the **Actor** column shows their name with a **· via API** marker.

### Viewing the details of a change[​](#viewing-the-details-of-a-change "Direct link to Viewing the details of a change")

Many rows include an inline summary of the fields that changed. Click **Details** on any row to open the full entry, which shows:

* **When**, **Actor**, **Category**, and the specific **Event**.
* The **Subject** — the item that was changed.
* **Attribute changes** — a before-and-after value for each field that changed.
* **Context** — any extra information recorded with the event.

Sensitive values are never shown

Some changes touch secrets — an API key's value, a signing key, an OAuth client secret. The Activity Log records that the value changed, but the value itself is replaced with a **hidden** marker and is never displayed.

## Filtering the log[​](#filtering-the-log "Direct link to Filtering the log")

The filters at the top of the page narrow the list as you change them. You can combine any of them:

| Filter               | What it does                                                                       |
| -------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Search**           | Matches text in the activity description or the name of the item that was changed. |
| **Category**         | Limits the list to a single [category](#categories).                               |
| **Actor**            | Limits the list to changes made by a **User**, an **API key**, or the **System**.  |
| **Event**            | Limits the list to a single kind of event.                                         |
| **Start / End date** | Limits the list to a date range.                                                   |

The list paginates at 25 entries per page, with a running count of how many entries match your filters.

## Categories[​](#categories "Direct link to Categories")

Every entry is filed under one category so you can narrow the log to the area you care about:

| Category        | Covers changes to…                                                 |
| --------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Settings**    | Organization settings and organization-wide branding.              |
| **Content**     | Templates, email templates, and interactions.                      |
| **Commerce**    | Products, plans, offers, and purchase refunds.                     |
| **Properties**  | Properties and property-level branding overrides.                  |
| **Security**    | Signing keys and OAuth clients.                                    |
| **Developer**   | Webhooks and the embed snippet.                                    |
| **GitHub Sync** | Template changes applied by a sync from your connected repository. |
| **Audience**    | Audience-member actions taken from the dashboard (see below).      |
| **Exports**     | Data exports that were created.                                    |
| **Users**       | Team-member invitations, role changes, and removals.               |

### Audience activity[​](#audience-activity "Direct link to Audience activity")

Because audience members change constantly through everyday sign-ins and syncs, the Activity Log records only the deliberate actions an administrator takes on a member from the dashboard, such as:

* Generating a session to sign in as a member (impersonation).
* Granting or revoking an entitlement.
* Changing or verifying a member's email address.
* Deleting a member.

Routine activity — members signing in, or changes that arrive through the API or an audience sync — is not recorded here, so the log stays focused on operator actions.

## Retention[​](#retention "Direct link to Retention")

Entries are kept for one year and then removed automatically. The Activity Log is a record of recent change, not a permanent archive.
