Document Activity
To view the record of who has approved or rejected the current document select Document Activity from the page tools menu (ellipsis menu).
All approvals and rejections together with comments and expirations will be recorded in the document activity.
If a user has been disabled or deleted the document activity will display the users username and the default avatar. The username name is the stored user display name for the instance.
The current document activity can also be viewed by
choosing the page tools menu Attachments option
choose the added Document Report tab
The Document Report tab will not be displayed if there is no active workflow on the content and document activity was removed/no workflow had been previously applied.
If there is no active workflow on the content but document activity was retained the page tools document activity option will not be available but any previous workflow history can still be viewed in this Document Report tab after opening the page tools menu Attachments option.
A user with edit or admin permission can clear the workflow history for a page by deleting the document activity attachment.
A space admin can choose to remove workflow document activity for all content in the space using the Clear workflow history option in the space settings Document Control dashboard.
Document Activity Report for the space
To see a report for the entire space choose the Document Report link on the left sidebar. This space report can be filtered by the current status or by approvals that are assigned to you as the current user.
My Pending Approvals
