Filter the Activity Log to find who changed something

The View Activity Log workspace permission · Updated 8 Nov 2026

The Activity Log on Monitor > Activity Log lists every change in your workspace. Use the filters in its column headers, the search box, or a row's View activity for this object button to find one change, one person's actions or one item's history.

Filter the Activity Log by event, category, author or date

Click a filter in a column header and select one or more values. You can combine filters, and they also apply when you export.

FilterHow to use it
EventsShow only some actions, for example Create dataset or Edit automation
CategoryShow one or more resource types: Automation, Connector, Dashboard, Data Retention, Dataset, Folder, Parameter, Pipeline, Project, View, Workspace
AuthorShow one team member's actions
Date rangeChange the time window. Defaults to Last 30 days

Date range options: Today, Yesterday, Last 7 days, This week, Last week, Last 30 days, Last 3 months, Last 6 months, This quarter, Last quarter, Year to date (YTD), or Custom.

The search box above the table (Search by name, dataset or project) narrows the log to matching events.

See the history of one dataset, View or automation

Each row's View activity for this object button limits the log to that object and shows an Object pill above the table; remove the pill to see everything. When the object is a dataset, an Include views checkbox adds the events of that dataset's Views. Export isn't available while an object is selected.

For one automation, you can also click ⋯ on its row in the Automations list, then View activity. See Manage automations.

Example: find who changed an automation last month

  1. Click the Category filter and select Automation.
  2. Click the Events filter and select Edit automation.
  3. Set the date range to Last 3 months.
  4. Read the Author and Details columns.
