We were contacting Shopify to understand who changed what and when in our store, mainly to understand a problem that we were facing. That changed completely with a release on November 13th. Shopify released an exciting feature called Store activity log, available to all stores. It stores 18 months of logs, which is a much longer time than what other apps store. This is beneficial especially if your store has many staff members, agency profiles and apps installed.

Navigate to **Settings → General → Store activity log** or simply search for “log” to view the page.

## What is visible in the logs?

- Products
- Orders
- Discounts
- Themes
- Apps
- Staff
- Payments
- Store settings
- Store access
- Publication
- Notification templates
- Metafield definitions

Expect a lot of the changes to be listed here, but not every single one. For example, fulfilling an order or changing the inventory of a product won’t appear.

### What you need to do?

If you need to understand what was changed, by whom and when to reason about a situation, refer to the Store activity log.
