Compliance Glossary for Confluence

What does the activity log record?

The activity log records supported governed actions available to the app, including who acted and when. It helps administrators review recent operational activity. For content-level evidence, open the related term history and exact version. The log does not capture decisions made only in email, external systems, or unsupported Confluence actions.

How it works

  1. Open the administration dashboard.
  2. Open the activity view.
  3. Locate the relevant governed action.
  4. Confirm the actor and timestamp.
  5. Open the related term or evidence record.
  6. Use the detailed history for content decisions.

Example

An administrator sees that a term was approved yesterday. The activity record identifies the action, actor, and time. The term history then shows the approved version, prior meaning, reviewer decision, and reason available to the app.

What this does not mean

The activity log is not a universal audit trail. It does not record unsupported actions, external approvals, email discussions, or every event in Confluence. Use the relevant source evidence for those decisions.
