Purpose

The Activity Log page provides a comprehensive, chronological audit trail of changes made across your organization and its tracked websites. It exists to give administrators and team members full visibility and accountability into workspace actions, helping teams answer questions like “who changed this prompt?” or “when was this user invited?” Whether you need to troubleshoot an unexpected configuration change, monitor team activity, or export logs for security and compliance reporting, this page centralizes all tracked events. It is a premium feature available on the Enterprise plan.

What’s on the page

Toolbar band

A control strip positioned just below the page header. The left side houses all filtering controls (date range and specific attribute filters) so you can narrow down the activity you want to see. The right side contains the Export CSV button.

Audit log timeline table

The main area of the page is a scrollable table containing the matching activity records. The events are grouped chronologically by date (e.g., “Today”, “Yesterday”). As you scroll to the bottom, the table automatically loads more events. A footer at the very bottom displays your progress, such as “50 of 200 events”.

Event details modal

Clicking a log row opens a dialog containing the technical details of that specific event.
  • Changes: If an item was modified, this section displays the exact raw data “Before” and “After” the change in a code-like format.
  • Metadata: Additional system-level context recorded during the event.

What you can do here

  • Change date range: Click the date dropdown (which defaults to “All time”) to restrict logs to a specific window. You can choose presets like “Last 7 days”, “Last 30 days”, or “Last 90 days”.
  • Filter activity: Click Filter (or Add filter if filters are already active) to narrow the list. You can filter by Actor role, Actor, Website, Event categories, Event (using free-text like user:*), or Status.
  • Clear all: When filters are applied, a red Clear all button appears. Clicking it removes all active filters at once.
  • Export CSV: Click Export CSV to download a spreadsheet of your current view. Note that exports are capped at 10,000 rows.
  • Collapse/expand date groups: Click any date header (e.g., “Today, Oct 24, 2023”) to hide or reveal all the log entries for that specific day.
  • View event details: Click anywhere on a specific log row to open the Event details modal and inspect exactly what changed.
  • Upgrade plan: If your workspace is not on the Enterprise plan, the page will display an “Activity log” card explaining the feature is locked. You can click Upgrade plan to be taken to your billing settings.

Data shown

The Activity Log displays an ongoing record of mutations and actions performed across your Athena workspace, from team member invitations to prompt edits, website deletions, and billing changes. If you are an organization member, you will see events spanning the entire workspace. If you are an external member invited only to specific websites, your view is restricted solely to events affecting your assigned websites. To protect privacy, actions taken by organization members on resources you do not have access to will anonymize the actor as “Organization member” or “Organization API key”.

Common workflows

Investigate what happened to a specific resource
  1. Navigate to Settings › Activity.
  2. Click Filter and select Event categories or Event to narrow down the action type.
  3. Optionally, add a Website filter to restrict the search to a specific domain.
  4. Scroll through the timeline or adjust the Date range until you find the relevant entry.
  5. Click the row to open the Event details modal and view the “Before” and “After” changes.
Export activity for compliance reporting
  1. Open the Activity page.
  2. Use the Date range picker or filters to narrow down the logs you need. Ensure the total number of events is under 10,000.
  3. Click the Export CSV button in the top right corner.
  4. A CSV file named audit-logs-[date].csv will download to your computer.

Empty, loading, and error states

  • Empty state: If no events match your current filters, the table displays “No activity in this period” with the suggestion “Try adjusting your filters or date range.” If your workspace has no recorded activity at all, you will see a simple “No activity available” message.
  • Plan locked: If your workspace is on a tier below Enterprise, you will see an “Activity log” screen with an icon and an Upgrade plan button instead of the timeline.
  • Loading state: While logs are being fetched, the page displays placeholder skeleton shapes mirroring the table rows. A small “Loading more” spinner appears at the bottom of the table when fetching older events during a scroll.
  • Error state: If Athena temporarily cannot verify your plan access, a “Couldn’t verify access” warning appears alongside a Retry button.
  • Linked from: You can access this page by clicking Activity in the Settings sidebar.
  • Links to: The Upgrade plan button (shown on locked tiers) routes directly to your /settings/billing page.

Common support questions

Why is the “Export CSV” button disabled? Exports are strictly limited to 10,000 records. If your current view contains more matching events, the button becomes unclickable. Hovering over it will display a tooltip stating: “Export is limited to 10,000 records ([number] match). Narrow the date range or filters.” You must apply filters or shorten your date range to proceed. Why can’t I click on certain rows in the activity log? Rows are only clickable if they contain deeper technical details. If an action didn’t generate underlying “Before and After” changes or extra system metadata, the row will not show a right-facing arrow on hover and cannot be clicked. Why do I see “Organization member” instead of a person’s actual name? If you are an external user with access limited to specific websites, Athena masks the identities of workspace members you don’t share website access with. This ensures organizational privacy while still letting you see that an action occurred. Why doesn’t the “Actor role” filter appear for me? If you are a website-scoped external member, you do not have permission to view organization-wide role assignments. Consequently, the “Actor role” filter is hidden from your view, and the “Organization” option is removed from the Website filter.
