The system administrator can download detailed reports called Content Logs from the Admin Console. These reports give information on how end users are working with corporate assets.
As end users interact with the assets—actions such as create or update—the details are recorded in log files. You can export these log files to track actions that users perform on the Creative Cloud and Document Cloud assets owned by your organization. As you move more assets into Adobe's cloud storage solutions, your coverage becomes more robust and meaningful.
You can only track assets managed by your Enterprise ID and Federated ID users. Actions performed on these assets by Adobe ID users are also logged. However, assets managed by users with Adobe IDs are not included, because legally, the individual users own these assets, not your organization. To migrate users from Adobe IDs to Enterprise ID or Federated ID, see Edit Identity Type.
Note:
Content Logs only contain details for users in the directories that you own. They do not contain details for users in a trusted directory. For more information on directories, see Directory Trusting.
You can download the Content Logs from the Admin Console, for the following user actions:
| Action | Description |
| Created | When a user uploads, imports, creates, or copies an item |
| Read | When a user downloads a file or library from the web, saves it locally on a device, or makes it available offline |
| Updated | When a user edits and saves an item |
| Permanently deleted | When a user permanently deletes an item |
| Sent an invite# | When a user adds a collaborator to a shared item |
| Accepted an invite# | When a user accepts an invitation to join a shared item as a collaborator |
| Changed a collaborator's role# | When a user modifies a collaborator's role |
| Created a public link# | When a user creates a public link |
| Removed a public link# | When a user removes a public link |
Note:
Actions performed on assets stored within Lightroom CC, Lightroom Classic, Lightroom Mobile, Lightroom Web, Behance, and Adobe Stock are not logged.

Note:
You cannot generate logs for dates that are earlier than the release of this feature.
-
After you receive the notification, click Download File under Content Logs in the Admin Console. The Content Logs report can contain multiple files, each of a maximum size of 100 MB.
A report is available in the Admin Console for seven days. Once deleted, you can regenerate it for the same time period, as long as the date range is within the past 90 days.
Note:
For organizations with numerous users, the resulting 90-day Content Logs report can be large and contain many files, potentially preventing its full download, depending on the browser used. If you are unable to download the Content Logs report, try reducing the selected date range. For an improved experience, it might also be useful to edit the default settings of some browsers in order not to be asked where to save each file before each download.
The report is downloaded as csv files. For a description of the fields in the downloaded file, see Log Schema.

The following issues may affect you if you have been migrated to the new storage model. You are on the new storage model if you see a Storage tab in the Admin Console.
- Logs can contain internal system events, such as events from system users identified as "tracked-send-share@adobe.com" email addresses.
- Logs of internal system events can include paths that may not exist in the customer's directories.
- Some log entries may not include prefixes [creative_cloud] or [document_cloud] in the path column.
