The document activity is the list of events occurring on documents. Events include edits made, comments posted, changes to the structure or metadata. For a full list, see the activity icon table.
This page includes the most recent events organized by day, then by document.
All document events have an author and some are related to a particular fragment of the document.
Activity icons are used in the drop-down and the result to help you identity event types quickly.
See activity icons for a full reference.
Some events, such as edits, occur multiple times on a given day.
To make this page more readable, events occurring on the same day, relating to the same fragment or document, and by the same author are grouped together and presented as a single event.
There could be thousands of individual events affecting your documents. PageSeeder lets you filter events using different facets to help you narrow down the results.
The results must match all the selected filters, except for the activities filter where the event has to match any of the selected activities.
The first 100 results are loaded and the next 100 each time the More button is clicked.
This filter lets you select the event types to display.
By default, only the following activities are selected: edit, modification, comment, structure, task, and workflow. You select any combination of event types in the drop-down. At least one must be selected, but selecting them all without any other filters might take a long time to process and produce too many results to be useful.
Every event on a document has an author. Authors are – or were – members of the current group. Only one author can be selected.
Some events types can have one or more labels. You can only select one label to match.
The label filter applies to the event itself. It also applies to the document or fragment labels for specific events. For example, if you select a label named “question” in the drop-down, the results display all the events which include that label.
The drop-down includes the following labels from the project configuration.
If the same label is used by different types of events, it matches any of them. For example, if both the upload and creation labels define an “important” label in the configuration, any creation or upload event with that label is returned.
Some events do not have labels: image and structure. So, selecting these types of events with a label does not return any result.
Select a document type to only list document activities for that type of document.
Select the location in the drop-down to only list the activities for documents within a particular folder or any of its descendants.

To help you browse the activities, they are organized by date first, then by document, and finally by activity.
For each document, the icons on the right indicate the types of activity recorded
for that document on that day. Click the
For each activity, the author name is displayed to the left and the author avatar is displayed to the right alongside the time of the event.
Some activities produce many similar events. For example, when a user edits a document, they are likely to produce several edits on the same fragment on the same day.
For that reason, events of the same type by the same author occurring on the same day are collapsed and displayed as one.

The document preview displays the document in its current state. It doesn’t display the document at the date displayed in the interface.
Most activities provide a link to get the details of the event in the panel.
