Activity log vs Audit log

Last updated: May 28, 2026

Uku has two separate logs that track different kinds of information. Knowing which to use will help you find the answer you need faster.

  • All team members can open their own Activity log (every plan) and their own Audit log entries.
  • Company Admins and Company Owners on the Elite plan can additionally see other members’ changes in the Audit log and undo them. The Activity log is always personal — no role can see another member’s Activity log.
Activity logAudit log
Where to find itBell icon in the application header — or Profile avatar shortcut (desktop)Profile avatar → Audit log
What it showsA feed of actions and events: tasks created, updated, assigned; clients changed; your logins and invitationsField-level changes: every modified field with its old and new value
Detail levelAction summaries (for example, “Task updated by Jaan”)Exact diffs (for example, “Due date: 2026-04-15 → 2026-04-30”)
Undo supportNoYes — individual fields and entire entries can be reverted
FiltersChronological feed only, no filteringRich filter bar: date, member, entity type, action type, ID search
Who sees whatEvery member sees only their own activity, regardless of roleAll members see their own changes; Elite plan + Company Admin role required for team-wide visibility and extended history
Plan requiredAll plansAll plans (basic — own changes only); Elite for extended visibility

Use the Activity log when you want to retrace your own recent actions:

  • What did I work on today?
  • Which tasks did I move to Done?
  • Did I update that client recently, and when?
  • What was the last thing I changed before stepping away?

The Activity log is a fast, scrollable feed of your own actions. It is not filterable, and it does not show field-level details. To review another team member’s changes, use the Audit log instead.

Use the Audit log when you need to trace a specific change:

  • Who changed the invoice amount and what was it before?
  • When was a task’s due date moved?
  • Did someone change a client’s billing settings?
  • What did a contract look like before it was edited?

The Audit log is filterable, searchable, and supports undo. It requires Elite plan access for team-wide use.

  1. Click the bell icon in the application header to open the notifications dropdown.
  2. Click View all to open the full page (it opens on the Notifications tab).
  3. Switch to the Activity log tab for the chronological feed of your actions.

Or open it directly from the Profile avatar → Activity log (desktop only).

  1. Click your profile avatar.
  2. Select Audit log from the dropdown.

The Audit log also appears inside client profiles (Activity tab group → Audit log) and project views (Audit log tab), automatically scoped to that client or project.

The Activity log won’t help — it shows only your own actions. To see what other members did, use the Audit log (Elite plan, Company Admin or Owner): set the date range to today and filter by Who. The Audit log lists every member’s changes with before/after values.

Cannot find a specific change in the Activity log

Section titled “Cannot find a specific change in the Activity log”

The Activity log is a chronological feed with no filters. For specific field-level changes, switch to the Audit log and use the Type, Who, and date range filters to narrow down results.

The Audit log feature must be enabled for your company. Contact your Company Owner to enable it in company settings.

The Activity log shows activity from the wrong company

Section titled “The Activity log shows activity from the wrong company”

If you belong to multiple companies, the Activity log may show activity from all of them mixed together. Use the Audit log with the Company filter to see activity scoped to a specific company.
