📖 Who changed what, and when. Every model edit on the record

Numbers and model structure change, and it isn't always clear why. A formula was edited, a variable's setting changed, a model was renamed or restructured. The Activity ledger now tells you who did it, when, and what the value was before.

✨ What's new

  • The Activity ledger, which already tracked your versions, scenarios and manual inputs, now records every structural and content change to your models and variables, with the person who made it and, for most edits, the value before and after.
  • On the model side, it captures creating, duplicating, renaming, moving and deleting a model, creating, renaming and deleting the sections that organize your models, and every change to the switchover date, including the automatic moves that happen when new actuals sync in.
  • On the variable side, it captures creating, duplicating, renaming and deleting variables, formula edits per version, actuals formula changes, calculation strategy, input type, aggregation, dimensions, style, description, and importing a global variable from another model. Formula changes made at the sub-dimension level are recorded too: open View changes on the event to see the previous and new formula for each dimension item.
  • You can also just ask. Tell the AI Agent "What changed in this model last week?" or "What did Ana change in Revenue since July 1?" and it answers from the same ledger, with the same permissions, grouping everything saved together as one change.
  • Deleted models and variables keep their full history, so you can always trace back what happened to them.

⚙️ How it works

Open More (…) → Activity from the left sidebar. Each row is a single change, sorted from most to least recent, with the event, its details, the affected resource and the user who made it. The ledger is permissioned by access, so you only see events for the models you have access to.

The ledger starts recording from the moment the feature is enabled for your organization, so earlier changes are not captured.

🔜 Coming soon

  • Access from the public API.
  • Filters and download on the Activity page.
  • A richer visual format for the Agent's activity answers.
