View Activity of a Resource
How to use Activity Log to view the actions people have taken on a resource
Sometimes, you may want to only view activity for a single resource such as a content item, model, code file, or setting. For example, you may want to know who scheduled a content item to be published or who most recently modified a code file.There are four ways you can do this:
- By selecting a resource from the Resources Tab in Activity Log
- By selecting the "View Logs" option in the:
- Draft history card of an item in "Content"
- Model info card of a model in "Schema"
- Activity Log card in the bottom panel of a code file in "Code"
Below are step-by-step instructions for the methods mentioned above.
Method 1: From Activity Log
#Step 1: Click on Reports in the left navigation bar
The Activity Log should open by default to the "Resources" tab.
