Activity Feed, Item History, and Audit Trail

Overview

Every meaningful action in StretchProjects is recorded as a timestamped event. Those events form two things: a per-item timeline you can open on any card, and a workspace-wide activity feed on the dashboard. Together they give you an audit trail of who changed what and when — no separate logging to set up.

What gets logged

StretchProjects records events for the core lifecycle actions:

• Created — when an item is added. The event notes which stage it was created in.
• Updated — when an item's details are changed (title, description, priority, owner, assignees, dates, flags, and so on).
• Moved — when a card changes stage. The event stores both the from and to columns, so you can see exactly how work progressed.

Each event carries a type, a human-readable label, a short body describing what happened, and structured metadata (for moves, the source and destination stages).

Read an item's timeline

1. Click a card to open its detail panel.
2. Open the item's history / activity section.
3. Events are listed newest first, each with its label, description, and time.

The timeline is the full story of a single card — when it was created, every edit, and every move between stages. It's the first place to look when someone asks "how did this end up here?"

Example

Opening "Page SEO restoration" shows its timeline: Created in Planned three weeks ago, Updated when the owner changed, Moved from Planned to In Progress, Moved from In Progress to Review. In one glance you can see the item's whole journey and who was accountable at each step.

Use the dashboard activity feed

1. Open the Dashboard.
2. Find the Recent activity panel.
3. Each entry shows the event type as a colored chip (created / moved / updated), the item it relates to, and a relative timestamp.

The feed spans all boards in your workspace, so it's the fastest way to catch up on everything that changed since you were last in the app — far quicker than opening each board.

Why the audit trail matters

Because events are written automatically and can't be skipped, the history is trustworthy for:

• Standups and status — read the feed instead of asking around.
• Client updates — point to concrete moves and completions.
• Retrospectives — trace how long work sat in each stage.
• Accountability — see who moved or edited a card and when.

Tips

• Start your day on the Recent activity feed to see overnight or cross-team changes.
• When a card is somewhere surprising, open its timeline before asking — the move history usually explains it.
• Move events record from/to stages, so leaving cards in the right columns keeps your history meaningful.
• Combine the feed with the Completed queue for a full picture of what moved and what finished.

FAQ

Can I edit or delete an event?
No — events are an append-only record. That's what makes the timeline trustworthy as an audit trail.

Does the activity from one organization show in another's feed?
No. The activity feed is scoped to your organization, so you only ever see your own team's events.

How far back does the feed go?
The dashboard shows the most recent events; the full history for any single item is always available on that item's timeline.
