A merchant is experiencing issues with products unexpectedly switching from active to draft status, causing them to disappear from the site. They’re seeking ways to track product changes and identify who made modifications.
Available Solutions:
Store Activity Log: Access general store changes at yourStore.myshopify.com/admin/activity, though this may not show specific user attribution for all changes
Product Events JSON: Append /events.json to a product’s admin URL to view a basic log of publishing/unpublishing events
https://admin.shopify.com/store/{your-store-link}/products/[product-id]/events.jsonThird-Party App: For comprehensive tracking with change history and revert capabilities, the “Loggr Product History & Revert” app was recommended
Key Limitation: Shopify doesn’t provide native detailed product activity/history tracking with full user attribution out of the box.
Hello,
We have found a few instances recently where a product is missing from our site because it’s been switched to a draft. But I am not sure how/why the product was switched to a draft, instead of active, and so I’d like to if there is a way to view product activity/history? I’d love to see what users made changes, or if it was a tag deleted, etc.
Thank you!
Hello!
I think there is no something like a product activity/history but you can check changes in the store in yourStore.myshopify.com/admin/activity
Here you can see changes that have happened in the store, still i think you can’t see which users exactly changed something
Little trick: if you open a product in the admin and stick /events.json at the end of the URL, Shopify shows a tiny log.
Example:
https://admin.shopify.com/store/{your-store-link}/products/9954787197241/events.json
But don’t expect much, it’s only basic stuff like publishing/unpublishing.
If you want everything tracked (and the ability to undo changes), you can use Loggr Product History & Revert.
