How to Use Activity View in ClickUp

The Activity view in ClickUp helps you track every important change across your Workspace so you always know who did what and when. This guide walks you through how to open Activity view, filter updates, and understand each type of activity log.

Open Activity View in ClickUp

You can access Activity view at the Workspace level to review a live feed of changes.

1. In the left sidebar, hover over the Workspace name or logo.

2. Select the location where you want to review activity, such as a specific Space, Folder, or List.

3. From the views toolbar, click the option to add or open the Activity view.

Once Activity view is open, you will see a chronological stream of events. Each entry shows key details like the user, the item that changed, and the time the change was made.

Understand Activity View in ClickUp

Activity view in ClickUp displays a running log of almost every change made across your work. These updates are grouped by time so you can quickly see the latest actions.

Each activity entry typically includes:

• The name and avatar of the person who made the change.

• The type of item that was updated, such as a task or doc.

• A description of the change, like status, assignee, or due date updates.

• The timestamp showing when the action occurred.

You can scroll through your activity feed to review older changes and confirm how your work has evolved over time.

Types of Activity Logged in ClickUp

Activity view in ClickUp captures many different actions so you have a complete history of your Workspace.

Task and List activity in ClickUp

Common task and List updates you may see include:

• New tasks created or existing tasks deleted.

• Tasks moved between Lists, Folders, or Spaces.

• Task names, descriptions, or priorities updated.

• Lists created, renamed, archived, or deleted.

Status and due date changes in ClickUp

Tracking progress is easier when you can see status and time updates, such as:

• Status changes, like moving tasks from Open to In Progress or Complete.

• Due dates, start dates, and time estimates added or changed.

• Time tracking entries created, edited, or removed.

Assignees and watchers in ClickUp

Collaboration updates are also captured in Activity view, including:

• Assignees added to or removed from tasks.

• Watchers added or removed so you know who is following a task.

• Mentions in comments that bring new people into a conversation.

Comments and attachments in ClickUp

Communication and file changes appear as well, such as:

• New comments posted or comments resolved.

• Threaded replies that continue a discussion.

• Files and attachments uploaded, updated, or deleted.

Custom field changes in ClickUp

If you use custom fields to track specific data, Activity view logs those updates too. Typical changes are:

• New custom fields added to a List or Space.

• Values in custom fields created, edited, or cleared.

• Field settings updated, including field names or options.

Filter Activity View in ClickUp

Filters help you narrow down the activity shown so you can focus on the changes that matter most.

Filter by date range in ClickUp

1. Open the Activity view toolbar.

2. Select the date filter dropdown.

3. Choose a preset range like Today, Yesterday, This Week, or Last 30 Days.

4. Alternatively, set a custom date range to focus on a specific time period.

After applying the date filter, Activity view only displays changes that occurred within your selected range.

Filter by location in ClickUp

If your Workspace is large, you can focus on a particular area.

1. From Activity view, open the location or hierarchy filter.

2. Select the Space, Folder, or List you want to review.

3. Apply the filter to see activity only for the chosen location.

This is helpful when you need to audit progress on a single project or department instead of your entire Workspace.

Filter by user in ClickUp

When you need to review actions by a specific teammate, use a user filter.

1. Open the people or user filter in Activity view.

2. Search for and select one or more users.

3. Apply the filter to see only the activity performed by those users.

This makes it simple to verify work logs, onboarding progress, or updates from a particular role or team.

Sort and read Activity in ClickUp

Activity view entries are usually displayed from newest to oldest. You can scroll down to see earlier updates and scan the details for each line item.

When reading the feed:

• Look for color-coded status labels and icons indicating the type of update.

• Click an item name, such as a task title, to open it in a new panel or window.

• Use your browser search to quickly find a keyword within the visible activity list.

Use Activity View in ClickUp for audits

Activity view in ClickUp is especially useful for audits, retrospectives, and incident reviews.

Typical use cases include:

• Confirming which user changed a task status or due date.

• Reviewing all updates made during a sprint or milestone.

• Tracking the history of a critical task during issue resolution.

• Documenting proof of work for stakeholders or clients.

By combining filters for date, user, and location, you can reconstruct the timeline for any important project event.
