How to Use Audit Logs in ClickUp

Audit logs in ClickUp help Workspace owners and admins track key activities for security, compliance, and troubleshooting. This guide explains how to open audit logs, filter and review events, and export data so you can keep full visibility into changes across your Workspace.

What are audit logs in ClickUp?

Audit logs record important actions taken by people with access to your Workspace. They allow you to see who did what and when, which is essential for monitoring security, compliance, and overall Workspace health.

Audit logs are available on certain paid plans and are accessible only to specific user roles with the correct permissions.

Who can view ClickUp audit logs?

Access to audit logs is permission-based to protect sensitive information. Typically, audit logs can be viewed by:

• Workspace owners
• Admins who have been granted access
• Other roles if explicitly allowed by Workspace settings

If you cannot see the audit logs option, contact your Workspace owner or admin to confirm your role and permissions.

How to open audit logs in ClickUp

Use these steps to access the audit logs from your Workspace settings:

1. Open your Workspace.
2. Click your avatar or Workspace settings icon in the lower-left corner.
3. Select Settings from the menu.
4. In the left sidebar, look for an option such as Audit Logs or Security & Audit.
5. Click to open the main audit log screen.

Once open, you will see a table of recorded events, including when they occurred, which user triggered them, and details about what changed.

Understanding ClickUp audit log entries

Each record in the audit log contains structured information so you can quickly understand what happened. While the exact columns and labels may vary, typical details include:

• Date and time: When the event occurred.
• User: The member or guest who performed the action.
• Action: The specific event, such as login, logout, item creation, deletion, or permission changes.
• Target: The item affected, such as a Space, Folder, List, task, or user.
• Additional details: Extra context depending on the event, like IP address or changed settings.

This structure helps you quickly search for unusual activities, investigate changes, or confirm whether a specific action took place.

How to filter ClickUp audit logs

Filtering audit logs lets you narrow results to only the events that matter. Use filters to focus on certain time ranges, users, or types of actions.

Filter by date in ClickUp audit logs

To review activity within a specific period, apply a date range filter:

1. Open the audit logs screen.
2. Locate the Date or Time range filter at the top of the log.
3. Choose a predefined range (for example, last 24 hours, last 7 days) or select a custom start and end date.
4. Apply the filter to see only events from that period.

This is helpful for investigating incidents or reviewing weekly and monthly changes across your ClickUp Workspace.

Filter by user in ClickUp audit logs

If you need to see actions performed by a specific person, filter by user:

1. From the audit logs, find the User filter.
2. Type or select the member or guest name.
3. Apply the filter to show only events generated by that user.

Use this to review admin activity, confirm user permissions changes, or trace actions taken by a particular account.

Filter by event type

Audit logs in ClickUp can include many event categories. Typical examples include:

• Logins and logouts
• Failed login attempts
• Two-factor authentication updates
• Workspace or Space configuration changes
• Task, List, and Folder changes
• Member invitations and removals

To focus on one or more event types:

1. Open the Event type or Action filter.
2. Select one or multiple event categories.
3. Apply the filter to view only those specific records.

How to search ClickUp audit logs

In addition to filters, you can search audit logs to quickly find related activities.

1. Open the audit log view.
2. Use the search bar, usually at the top of the table.
3. Enter a keyword such as a user name, Space name, List, or task ID.
4. Press Enter to show all logs containing that term.

Search and filters can be combined to investigate very specific scenarios, such as actions by one user within a particular date range.

How to export ClickUp audit logs

Exporting audit logs allows you to store records externally, share with your security or compliance teams, or import into other reporting tools.

Export steps for ClickUp audit logs

To export audit log data:

1. Open the audit logs page in your Workspace settings.
2. Apply any filters or date ranges you want captured in the export.
3. Look for an Export button or download icon, often placed above the log table.
4. Choose the preferred file format if options are available (for example, CSV).
5. Confirm the export and wait for the file to generate.

Depending on the volume of data, exports may be delivered as a file download in your browser or via email.

Best practices for managing exports

• Store exports securely, especially when they include sensitive user and access data.
• Limit who can download and view exported files.
• Define a retention policy for how long exported audit records should be kept.
• Use exports to support internal audits or meet external compliance requirements.
