View organization activities

Activities enable you to retrieve a list of actions performed in the organization or a specific workspace. You can use the list of activities to review actions performed in your organization, such as user logins, new users being added, role changes, and changes to organization or workspace settings. These activities are available directly in the Workiva platform and can be exported from Organization Admin or Workspace Settings.

Why are there duplicate activities?

Workiva is in the process of phasing out Classic activities and introducing a set of new, more standard activities. During this transitional phase, you may see duplicate activities logged in your report. To help you identify the Classic activities being phased out, they are highlighted in the Action column of your reports. If you rely on the names of these Classic activities today, we recommend that you transition to referencing the new activity name instead.
