View and export activity logs
Who can use this feature
Available on the Organization and Enterprise plans
Only organization admins can view member and guest activity
Activity logs provide a record of how members and guests interact with organization files and resources.
- See when people access, copy, and share files.
- Track any changes made to team administration and settings.
- Track any changes made to team, project and file permissions.
- View actions taken by specific members.
- Track changes made by organization admin to organization-level settings.
- Identify and prevent misuse of any organization resources.
Monitor security at scale with the Activity Logs API. On the Enterprise plan, organization admins can use the Activity Logs API to protect their organization’s creative work. Use this API to identify anomalous events faster, build an internal application, and create security rules.
View activity logs
Access activity logs in the Activity tab of the organization's Admin.
- From the file browser, click Admin in the left sidebar.
- Click Activity in the left sidebar.
- Use the fields to filter results by your desired criteria. Choose from:
- Member: Enter an email address to view any events related to that person. These can be actions they have taken, or actions taken by someone else that apply to them.
- Date: Enter a start and end date to see results for a specific date range.
- Events: Select a specific type of event. Explore tracked events ↓
- Team: Select a team to view activity within that specific team.
Note: Admins can also view recent activity for a specific member or guest in the People tab. If they click to see more activity, Figma will open the Activity tab with that person's email address already populated.
Activity log events
Activity logs begin tracking events once you upgrade to an Organization or Enterprise plan and include events for the last year, up to 365 days. For example, if you upgraded your team to an Organization plan two years ago, the activity log will show events from the last 365 days.
Note: Activity logs don't track events on Starter or Professional teams and cannot be retroactively applied after upgrading to an Organization or Enterprise plan.
For every event in the activity log, you'll see:
- The type of event that took place.
- The team member's name and email address. This could be the person that took the action, or the person the event applies to.
- Date and time the event occurred. All times are shown in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).
- Product the event relates to, if applicable.
- The Team the event relates to, if applicable.
- IP address of the related team member.
Members
- Members signed in or signed out
Note: Figma doesn't record any log in activities for guests of the organization. Figma also doesn't track when a member closes a browser window or exits Figma without logging out.

Export activity logs
You can export a copy of your activity logs, which includes all the data in your activity logs. This is great if you want to back up this information or dig further into events.
Figma exports your data in CSV (Comma Separated Values) format. You can import this data into a tool or application of your choosing.
When you request a CSV export Figma ignores any filters you’ve applied. This means the export will include all events within the date range you selected.
- Enter a start and end date to limit results to a specific date range.
- Click Get CSV in the top-right corner of the screen.
- Figma will email you the activity log in CSV format.
Library Analytics API
The Library Analytics API is another method you can use to filter, explore, and export your data for use in other tools. The Library Analytics API is part of the Figma REST API and provides two endpoints that can be used to get different types of data from your library analytics:
- Actions data contains time series data about what actions your users have performed with your library on a week-by-week basis. Actions data includes inserts and detaches. You can use this to identify trends. Action data can be broken down by used component or using team.
- Usages data contains summary information about how many instances of a library's components exist across all files. You can think of this as a snapshot, or census, of where your library and its components are being used. Usage data can be broken down by used component or using file/team.
To learn more about using the Library Analytics API, check out the Figma REST API documentation.
