How can i monitor the product edit activities on the backend?

Shopify Discussion

Topic summary

A user seeks a Shopify app to track detailed product edit activities, including who made changes, when, and which specific fields were modified. Their current solution, Logify, fails to capture edits made through bulk update tools like Matrixify and lacks granular detail.

Suggested solutions:

  • Activity Log or Replay by Rewind: Recommended as alternatives with better staff activity tracking, though noted as imperfect
  • Native Shopify method: Adding /events.json to a product’s admin URL reveals basic edit history (publish/unpublish events and limited edits)
  • Loggr Product History & Revert: Mentioned as tracking comprehensive changes with rollback capability

The discussion highlights a common limitation: existing tools struggle to accurately track bulk edits made by third-party apps. No definitive solution has been identified that fully meets the requirement for detailed, app-agnostic edit tracking.

Can you recommend any Shopify app that can show who edited a product detail when and which part of the product detail is updated?
I installed the Logify app, but this one doesn’t show who made an update if it’s bulk updated by an app such as Matrixify, which part of the product is updated in detail, etc.
Can you recommend any Shopify apps that can monitor staff’s activities happening on Shopify’s backend?
Thank you!

Hi! I’ve run into the same issue with Logify. It doesn’t seem to track detailed edits made by bulk tools like Matrixify.

You might want to try Activity Log or Replay by Rewind they offer better staff activity tracking, though not perfect either. I wish there was a more accurate solution too.

Hope this helps a bit!

There’s actually kind of a hidden way to see some product history. If you open a product in the admin and just add /events.json at the end of the URL, you’ll see a log.

Like this:
https://admin.shopify.com/store/{your-store-link}/products/9954787197241/events.json

It’s not great tho, it only shows stuff like when a product was published or unpublished, and only a couple edits.

Other option (shameless plug here :sweat_smile:) is my app Loggr Product History & Revert. That one actually tracks every change and you can roll things back.
