Activity log

The activity log is a record of the important things people do in your workspace: who did it, what they did and when. It helps when you need to check a change or show an auditor what happened.

Overview

Renewly records actions such as uploading, changing or deleting contracts, signing in, inviting team members and changing settings. Each entry shows the event, the person who did it, some details, and the time.

Accessing the activity log

1. Open Settings from the main menu.
2. Choose Activity Log.
3. Scroll through the list, newest first. Use the page arrows at the bottom to see older events.

In a team workspace, only owners and admins can open the full activity log. In a personal workspace you see your own activity.

Filtering events

• Type of event: choose a group from the list, for example Authentication, Contracts, Team or Settings. Choose All events to see everything.
• Dates: set a Start date, an End date, or both.

Event types

Here are examples of what the log records in each group:

Authentication

• Signing in and out
• Turning two-factor authentication on or off
• Adding or removing a passkey
• Linking or unlinking a sign-in provider

Contracts

• Uploading, viewing, downloading and deleting contracts
• Reviewing, archiving and restoring contracts
• Changes to a contract's details, tags and departments
• Uploading or deleting a version
• Moving a contract to another workspace

Team

• Inviting and removing members
• Changing someone's role
• Creating and changing departments

Settings, account and subscription

• Changes to your profile and notification settings
• Starting, changing or cancelling a subscription
• Connecting or disconnecting an integration
• Creating or revoking an API key

Contract activity timeline

Each contract page also has an Activity section. It shows what has happened to that one contract, so you do not need to leave the contract to check.

Exporting audit logs

On the Business plan and above, workspace owners and admins can download the activity log as a CSV file, a spreadsheet you can open in Excel or Google Sheets.

1. Open Settings, then Activity Log.
2. If you like, set a start and end date.
3. Click Export CSV.
4. If asked, confirm your identity with a passkey or authenticator app. Exporting needs this extra check.

The file includes up to 10,000 events, with the time, the person and the details of each.

Data retention

Renewly keeps activity records for 3 years. If a person's account is deleted, their entries stay in the log but their personal details are removed, and they show as Deleted user.
