Review store changes in the new Store activity log

Shopify rebuilt the Store activity log so you can see who changed what in your store, and when, from one place. You'll find it under Settings > General > Store activity log. Shopify says it now covers products, orders, discounts, themes, apps, staff, payments, and store settings.

Each change is attributed to the staff member, collaborator, or app that made it. If Shopify staff made the change, it's attributed to Shopify. Some app changes don't record who made them, so the log shows the app name instead. You can filter by who made the change, the type of action, the resource, the field that changed, and the date range. Selecting a row shows what changed, with previous and new values where they're available.

The log now keeps up to 18 months of changes. The old one held the last 250 events. Pages for products, orders, discounts, gift cards, collections, and domains also get a View activity action that opens the log already filtered to that item.

Only store owners and staff with both the Manage settings and Edit permissions can use the new log. The Administrator and Organization administrator roles qualify. Other staff who had access to the previous log keep using it for now. History only starts from when each type of change began being recorded, shortly before this release, so earlier changes won't appear. Not every admin action is recorded yet.
