Activity Log lists all changes that have been made to items that are visible to you with your current access level.
You can apply Filters for better search and to find answers to your questions.
You can restore deleted Entities, Fields, Views, and Databases.
Please, note that on Standard plan history is limited for 90 days.
Use Pro version for the unlimited history.
How to access Activity Log
To find the Activity Log, click on your workspace name in the top left and choose Activity Log from the drop down menu.
You'll see a table that shows affected Entities, Fields, Views, Databases, events, and what was changed, by who and when:
How to use Filters in the Activity Log
You can use Filters to find items that you're looking for or answer questions you might have. Note, that changes made by integrations are hidden by default, click Auto changes filter to see them.
Here are a couple of examples:
What did Michael change last week?
With a Who filter we should select the exact user (Michael), and with a When filter we should select the required period.
Who added new fields to the Purchase Database?
We want to see schema changes and there is a special filter for that: Schema Change
Add Schema Change filter and select Field value in this filter.
Add Event filter and select added as a value.
Add Entity Type filter and select Purchase database.
Who deleted several Features recently?
Add Event filter and select deleted value.
Select Who filter and select is User value (this filter ignores Fibery automation and integration services and focuses on changes made by real people only).
As you can see, Filters are very flexible and you can focus on just what you need.
You can also open entities affected by a change by clicking the Entity name.
See all access changes in Activity Log
You can see when someone shares or unshares an item in Fibery directly in the Activity Log. This helps you understand exactly how and when access changed.
If you notice that someone has gained or lost access unexpectedly, simply check the Activity Log to see who made the change. This makes it much easier to resolve issues quickly - whether it was intentional or just a mistake.
How to undelete or restore data from the Activity Log
Occasionally, you can't see the Entity (Field, View) that you have deleted in Trash. This can be the case when you have deleted not only an Entity (Field, View) but also its parent Database.
However, you'll be able to see all these changes in Activity Log. First, find the parent Database and restore it, and second, find the needed Entity (Field, View), and restore it too.
If you can't see the needed View after you've restored the parent Database, ask Admin to help with it. You may not have the necessary access level.
How to restore from Activity Log
Use Filters to find the necessary event in the Activity log.

FAQ
How to delete customer data in Fibery in accordance with GDPR requirements?
It it not possible to completely delete customer data in Fibery in accordance with GDPR.
Under the GDPR, customers have the right to request deletion of their personal data. However, in Fibery, this data remains stored in the Audit Log and can be restored by authorized personnel. This retention is a crucial part of Fibery's technical infrastructure and cannot be altered.
How to ensure GDPR compliance when deleting customer data in Fibery?
However, you can introduce clear amends to your Privacy Policy:
Clearly indicate in your privacy policy that customer data will be deleted upon their request.
Explain that while data is removed from active use, it remains stored in Fibery, our data storage system. It's important to note that all data will persist in the AuditLog until the workspace is fully deleted. This is a fundamental part of our solution, but upon request, the data can be removed from active use.
In your privacy policy, clarify that only authorized administrators within your organization can access the Audit Log in Fibery. Moreover, stringent security measures are implemented to safeguard the Audit Log data from unauthorized access, disclosure, modification, or destruction.
To meet GDPR requirements and adhere to internal security policies, state that specific data from the Audit Log can only be restored with a written request from the user and valid legal grounds, or at the direct request of the client for account restoration.
Make sure to notify customers before their data is entered into the system. This allows them to make an informed decision about sharing their personal data.
We have some entities which have Created by empty. How come?
This may happen in multiple cases. The most common causes are:
The entities were created via a publicly shared link to a Form - we can't match the person who creates an entity using Form view via the public sharing link with a registered Fibery user.
The entities were created with an API request with fibery/created-by explicitly set to null
I restored deleted entity and deleted field but data is not here
Unfortunately, the order of restore operations does matter. In your case you've restored Entity when field was deleted so there were no place to restore the content of the field. Make sure, that you first undelete field, and then undelete entity.
