Change history provides a record of changes made to an account over the last 2 years.
View change history
In Admin, under Account or Property, click Account change history or Property change history.
Change history lists:
- Time: The date and time of the activity
- Location type: the Analytics account or property where the change took place
- Location name: the name of the Analytics account or property where the change took place
- Item type: the type of item that was changed, such as a data stream or Google Ads link
- Action: the change, such as create or modified, that was made to the item
- Changed by: Which Analytics user performed the activity.
Change history also captures some automated system changes.
Entries attributed to [deleted user] indicate that Analytics cannot retrieve an email address because the Google account for the user who made the change has been deleted.
Set the date range
The table displays data from the last 2 years by default. To change the date range, click Add a filter, then select Time. You can also type “Time” directly in the filter bar then press Enter to open the date range picker.
The date range uses your operating system's time zone.
Filter the contents
To filter the contents of the table, click Add a filter, then select from the available options:
- Location: Select the location type or name of the account or property with the changes you want to filter. For properties, this filter is only available if they have subproperties.
- Item type: Click the checkbox to select the types of items you want to include.
- Action: Choose whether the type of change made was Created, Modified, or Deleted.
- Changed by: Enter the email address of whoever made the changes you want to include.
Search the contents
Use the search field at the top of the table to search contents by any of the data types listed in the columns, such as date, location name, item name, and item type.
Enter dates using the same format as the column entries.
You can search using partial strings like the first two letters of a month or a few letters from a user's email address.
