To circumvent this time-intensive process, you can utilize the Website Activity record to promptly identify which adjustment triggered the issue and implement a solution efficiently.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>Team transparency<\/h3>\n<p>You might encounter difficulty in monitoring your site\u2019s progress while collaborating with a large team working on various ongoing projects. You can rely on the Website Activity record to gain insight into your teammates\u2019 efforts to comprehend the alterations that have been made. This is also invaluable for teams partnering with external parties \u2013 the team gains insight into the partner\u2019s undertakings, and the partners gain insight into the team\u2019s activities.<\/p>\n<h3>Readiness for publication<\/h3>\n<p>You can also utilize the Website Activity record to filter and review the status of site modifications. This is beneficial if you wish to assess unpublished changes and diminish the likelihood of publishing incomplete work. You can also scrutinize alterations published to your staging subdomain to gain insight into site upgrades that are prepared to be released to production.<\/p>\n<h2>Approaches to leverage the Website Activity record<\/h2>\n<p>To become acquainted with the Website Activity record, let\u2019s go through:\u00a0<\/p>\n<ul role=\"list\">\n<li>Specifics of the tracked activities\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>Exclusions from the tracked activities<\/li>\n<li>Mechanisms for tracking activities<\/li>\n<li>Utilization of Website Activity record filters<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Specifics of the tracked activities<\/h3>\n<p>The Website Activity record traces 10 crucial modifications made to your site:<\/p>\n<ul role=\"list\">\n<li><strong>Category modifications<\/strong> \u2014 includes category establishment, modification, and deletion. This encompasses universal categories, base categories, blended categories, HTML tags, and states. Changes related to interactions added, altered, or removed from categories are monitored. Category modifications on page branches are also monitored.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Element modifications<\/strong> \u2014 encompasses element creation, modification, and deletion. Changes related to interactions added, altered, or removed from elements are also monitored.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Adjustments to parameters<\/strong> \u2014 includes parameter establishment, modification, and deletion<\/li>\n<li><strong>Custom script modifications<\/strong> \u2014 includes custom script establishment, modification, and deletion. This covers custom script adjustments made in Site settings, Page settings, and via HTML embeds, but excludes HTML embeds in rich text fields within CMS items.<\/li>\n<li><strong>CMS management<\/strong> \u2014 encompasses establishment, modification, and deletion of Collection items and CMS Collections. This includes adjustments made in the Editor.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Configuration adjustments <\/strong>\u2014 includes alterations to page settings and alterations to custom script in Site settings<\/li>\n<li><strong>Archives<\/strong> \u2014 comprises of archive establishment and restoration. This includes manual archives and system-generated archives.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Page alterations<\/strong> \u2014 includes page establishment, deletion, replication, renaming, modification of the HTML structure of a page (comprising the addition, deletion, or rearrangement of elements), modification of element and page interactions (establishment, modification, and deletion), and modifications to static content from either the Designer or the Editor.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Page branch operations<\/strong> \u2014 comprises branch establishment, deletion, and merging<\/li>\n<li><strong>Release occurrences<\/strong> \u2014 comprises site publication and unpublishing occurrences from the Designer, Editor, and Dashboard. Publishing to multiple domains results in numerous release occurrences.\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h6><strong>Reminder: <\/strong>Modifications are tracked on the site level (not on the page level or Workspace level).<\/h6>\n<p>Each tracked modification indicates:<\/p>\n<ul role=\"list\">\n<li>The date and time of the modification (in your local timezone)<\/li>\n<li>Identification of the team member responsible for the change<\/li>\n<li>Which page branch the modification occurred on (if it happened on a page branch)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h6><strong>Reminder:<\/strong> Some modifications, like collective CMS modifications and Page altered modifications, will be displayed as one modification in the Website Activity record. Bulk CMS modifications exhibit the number of items altered (e.g., \u201c20 items added to Blog Posts\u201d). Page altered modifications exhibit the number of elements changed on a page (e.g., \u201c5 changes to Contact Us\u201d).<\/h6>\n<p>The Website Activity record demonstrates 50 modifications before displaying a &#8220;Load more activity&#8221; button. Click on the button to unveil additional preceding modifications.\u00a0The Website Activity record showcases up to 1 year of modification history.<\/p>\n<p>You can also utilize the &#8220;collapse all&#8221; or &#8220;expand all&#8221; modifications icon in the upper right corner of the Website Activity record to efficiently navigate through a substantial volume of modification logs arranged by days.<\/p>\n<h3>Exclusions from the tracked activities<\/h3>\n<p>The Website Activity record does not track every modification made to a site. For instance, it does not track:<\/p>\n<ul role=\"list\">\n<li>Details of the alterations made to categories, elements, or custom script (e.g., button category altered: color transitioned from #0000FF to #00FF00)\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>Modifications to Workspace settings<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Mechanisms for tracking activities<\/h3>\n<p>Modifications are solely traced when your site is saved. This implies that if you make a change and reverse it before the site saves, it won&#8217;t appear in the Website Activity record. To ensure that modifications are documented in the Website Activity record, you can save your site in two ways:<\/p>\n<ul role=\"list\">\n<li>Manually save your site by pressing <strong>Command<\/strong> + <strong>Shift<\/strong> + <strong>S<\/strong> (on Mac) or <strong>Control<\/strong> + <strong>Shift<\/strong> + <strong>S<\/strong> (on Windows)<\/li>\n<li>Rely on automatic site saves (e.g., sites auto-save after 10 seconds of inactivity, or every 30 seconds while active)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Most modifications recorded in the Website Activity record are view-only, except for 3 modifications that can be selected to display further information:<\/p>\n<ul role=\"list\">\n<li>Click on the \u201c<strong>eye<\/strong>\u201d icon next to <strong>Archive created<\/strong> modification to open the archive preview in a new tab in view-only mode.<\/li>\n<li>Click on the \u201c<strong>list<\/strong>\u201d icon adjacent to the <strong>Class altered<\/strong> action to reveal a catalog of affected elements on the current page, on other pages, and any impacted components<\/li>\n<li>Tap the \u201c<strong>list<\/strong>\u201d icon next to the <strong>Branch combined<\/strong> action to display adjustments applied on the branch that were merged into the main site<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Upon accessing the \u201c<strong>list<\/strong>\u201d icon beside a <strong>Class altered<\/strong> activity, you may select an element in the \u201cElements affected on this page\u201d segment to directly navigate to that element. Clicking an element in the \u201cElements affected on other pages\u201d section will transport you to the <em>page<\/em> where the element is situated. Subsequently, you will need to click it in the \u201cElements affected on this page\u201d segment in the Site Activity log to directly move to that element.<\/p>\n<p>Remember that you cannot click on a component to navigate to its instance(s).<\/p>\n<figure class=\"w-richtext-align-fullwidth w-richtext-figure-type-image\">\n<div><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/webflow.tenten.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/64b94a85158b9500361b481a_64adb8c0480533d9e8f649e0_xmuxcrok_-rmx2ni0vmqwmawzkckh3mfzkgtjn5n88fx150szvuwlrrlg2jojni-mvvlnhfyerm4jpzwg5-anog5mbme5y30eqf6rfcejs-3wm5yak28ruzdz51atqwt2sbk2q5vzahrvlrm7nqhoe.png\" title=\"64b94a85158b9500361b481a_64adb8c0480533d9e8f649e0_xmuxcrok_-rmx2ni0vmqwmawzkckh3mfzkgtjn5n88fx150szvuwlrrlg2jojni-mvvlnhfyerm4jpzwg5-anog5mbme5y30eqf6rfcejs-3wm5yak28ruzdz51atqwt2sbk2q5vzahrvlrm7nqhoe\"><\/div><figcaption>The Branch combined activity depicts a collection of classes and elements established, adjusted, and removed on a page branch.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>All activities are static.
