As an admin, you can see how end users are using your assets, including folders, files, and libraries.
Overview
Download detailed Content Logs from the Admin Console to understand how users interact with corporate assets.
You can use Content Logs to track how users create, update, move, and manage assets, including activity in PDF Spaces. Export the logs to monitor activity across your organization's Creative Cloud and Document Cloud assets. As you store more assets in Adobe Cloud storage, reporting becomes more complete and valuable.
You can retrieve Content Logs for the following user actions:
| Action | Description |
|---|---|
| Created | When a user uploads, imports, creates, or copies an item |
| Read | When a user opens or views a file or library stored in the cloud, either through a browser or within an application |
| Updated | When a user edits and saves an item |
| Copied | When a user duplicates an item or copies it from one location to another |
| Moved | When a user moves an item from one location to another |
| Discarded | When a user discards an item |
| Restored | When a user restores an item |
| Permanently deleted | When a user permanently deletes an item |
| Version deleted | When the user deletes an item's version |
| 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 |
| Read a public link |
When a user reads a public link |
| Removed a public link | When a user removes a public link |
| Requested access |
When a user requests access to an item |
| Managed access |
When an item's owner responds to an access request |
| Collaborator auto-added |
When an authenticated user is added as a collaborator to the asset by accessing a public link that is auto-add enabled |
Note
Actions performed on assets stored within Lightroom, Lightroom Classic, Lightroom Mobile, Lightroom Web, Behance, and Adobe Stock are not logged.
To view the Content Logs for your organization, do the following:
Select Create Report.
Choose a date range and select Create Report.
The date range is as per your local time.
Logs can be generated for user activities that occurred in the past 90 days. When your report is ready for download, you receive a notification email.
After you receive the notification, select 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.
