Quick Summary: The Company Activity Log is a single, time-ordered record of every major change in your workspace. Global Admins open it from Settings > Activity to see who changed what and when, filter by area and date, export the result to CSV, and undo a change — each undo recorded under your name with a reason.

​
Overview

The Company Activity Log is a workspace-wide audit trail. It records the significant changes that happen across your SkillsDB workspace — in people, skills, careers, certifications, assessments, training, surveys, journeys, documents, checklists, files, company settings, org structure, your identity provider, integrations, sign-ins, billing, imports, and support access — and presents them in one time-ordered list, newest first. The log exists for two jobs. The first is accountability: it answers “who changed what, and when?” during an audit, an investigation, or a support request. The second is recovery: for several kinds of change, you can undo the change directly from the log, and the undo is itself recorded under your name with the reason you give. This is a company-wide log and is different from the per-career Activity Log, which records changes to a single career. The Company Activity Log spans the whole workspace and every area listed above. Each entry carries a short, plain-language sentence describing the change, along with who made it, the area and record it affected, and the action it performed. Entries are append-only — they are never edited or deleted — so the log is a reliable record of what happened.
Note: The Company Activity Log is available when your organization has the feature enabled. If you do not see an Activity category in Settings, the feature is not turned on for your workspace.

​
Prerequisites

Before you open the Company Activity Log, you need:
  • Permission level: Global Admin — the log uses the same permission as changing company settings
  • Access requirement: The Company Activity Log feature enabled for your organization
  • Navigation: Open Settings from the workspace menu, then select Activity
Managers and employees cannot open the Company Activity Log. If someone without the Global Admin role opens the page by its URL, SkillsDB returns them to Settings.

​
Reading the Log

The log is a table of changes, newest first. Each row has these columns: Changes made by SkillsDB support appear with a SkillsDB support marker so you can always tell them apart from your own team’s changes.

​
Choosing a time window

The log loads the most recent changes and shows them within a time window. Use the date control to choose how far back to look:
  • Last 10 days (the default)
  • This week
  • This month
  • Last month
  • Custom range
A window can span at most 12 months. If you choose a custom range longer than that, SkillsDB asks you to Choose a range of 12 months or less. When no changes fall in the chosen window, the log shows No activity in this window and suggests choosing a longer window to look further back.

​
Exporting the Log

You can export the changes in the current view to a CSV file — for an audit, a records retention process, or analysis outside SkillsDB.
1

Set the view you want to export

Choose the time window, and apply any area or search filters, so the log shows the changes you want to capture.
2

Open the actions menu

Open the page’s actions (also reachable through the command menu) and select Export CSV. To export only specific rows, select those rows first and choose Export selected to CSV.
3

Download the file

SkillsDB generates the CSV and downloads it.
An export covers up to 100,000 changes. If your window holds more than that, SkillsDB exports the first 100,000 and tells you to Choose a shorter range for the rest. Exporting is itself an action, so each export is recorded in the log as an Exported entry.

​
Undoing a Change

Some changes can be reversed from the log. When a change can be undone, the entry offers Undo this change. Undoing works by replaying the matching action in that area — for example, reactivating a person, restoring a document or checklist, resuming a journey, or reverting a setting — so the original permission rules for that action still apply.
1

Open the change

Select the entry you want to reverse, then select Undo this change.
2

Review what will change

In the Undo this change? dialog, review the Now and After undo columns so you can see exactly what the undo will do.
3

Give a reason

Enter a Reason of at least three characters — for example, why you are reversing the change. The undo is added to Activity under your name, with this reason.
4

Confirm

Select Undo change.
Each undo is recorded as its own Undone entry in the log, attributed to you and carrying your reason, so the reversal is as traceable as the original change. To reverse several changes at once, select the rows and choose Undo selected. SkillsDB asks for a single reason that applies to all of them. Any selected change that cannot be undone is skipped, and SkillsDB tells you which ones. You can also Copy links to selected entries or Clear selection.
Important: Undo re-runs the real action in the affected area, so it is subject to the same permission checks as doing that action directly. A change with no reversible action — such as a sign-in record — cannot be undone and offers no undo option.

​
Common Questions

Only Global Admins. The log uses the same permission as changing company settings. Managers and employees cannot open it, and anyone without the Global Admin role is sent back to Settings if they try to reach the page directly.
Yes, but read-only. When SkillsDB support works in your workspace, they can open and export the Company Activity Log, but they cannot undo or restore anything — write actions are disabled for a support session. Any changes support does make elsewhere appear in the log marked as SkillsDB support.
The per-career Activity Log records changes to a single career and is opened from the Careers library. The Company Activity Log is workspace-wide: it spans people, skills, careers, certifications, training, documents, sign-ins, billing, and every other area in one place, and is opened from Settings > Activity.
No. Entries are append-only — they are never changed or removed. Reversing a change with undo does not delete the original entry; it adds a new Undone entry alongside it, so both the change and its reversal stay in the record.
The log shows changes within a time window of at most 12 months. Choose a custom range inside that limit, or narrow the window, to find older changes. A range longer than 12 months is not allowed.
