Hi there,

Please take a look at https://{your-store}/admin/activity

This might be what you are looking for.

If you want the logs of individual staffs, Go to Your store admin dashboard > Settings > Users and permissions > Click on the Staff name". Under “Recent access to store” you will have all recent sessions accessed by that staff on your store.

If you want detailed report, you might want to have a dedicated app for that.

Thanks,

Please mark this as accepted solution if this helped your issue.

Hi @Stefano468 ,

This is a great question!

You can access your Shopify website back-end by logging into your Shopify store. The URL of your Shopify admin page would be shown like (your store URL).myshopify.com/admin. Then, add “/activity” at the end of the admin page URL which will be shown like (your store URL).myshopify.com/admin/activity. You will then be able to view all activities on your store website.

Hope this was helpful!

This has helped me out as well, but do you know of a method to either export the log, or to show more of the list. Currently if I need to go two months back it takes a large number (>50) “Load More” clicks. But more importantly, I can only go back a month.

Hi Sajat,

Would you happen to know if there is a way to see activity filtered by dates?

Currently I would like to see something I did months ago, and the activity log is a huge list where I would have to scroll for a very long time that it would not be an efficient use of time to scroll so much and so far.

Activities logged and filtered by dates would help a lot.

Hi Stefano,

That activity log doesn’t seem to show changes to settings. Do you know how to identify a user that changed settings (e.g. toggled a tax setting)?

Best,

Keith

That’s helpful for some changes to themes, but when certain apps are installed (page builders, SEO apps, loyalty apps, etc.) the apps show as users making changes and it buries changes from specific users.

Is there a native way or by using an app that I can see changes to specific pages or settings?

The URL you provided throws a 404.

Hi @Roger_Ximenez The URL has changed. The latest URL is https://{your-store-url}/settings/general/activity.

Thank you.

For reference if you are checking activity log on your store, the URL is:

https://admin.shopify.com/store/{store-name}/settings/general/activity

(correct on 21st Aug 2024)

This needs to be the new accepted solution (still correct as of May 2025)

There’s a sorta hidden option for the product edits. When you’re on a product in the backend, just add /events.json at the end of the URL.

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

It’s very limited tho, only a couple events like publish/unpublish.

For proper tracking, I’d suggest Loggr Product History & Revert. That one keeps full logs and you can revert mistakes.
