Track the evolution of your drawings and compare drawing history using Activity Insights, a palette that records activities and filters them by activity type, user, and date.
Try:
Activity Insights through a series of exercises.
First introduced in AutoCAD 2024, Activity Insights now logs more types of activities and provides detailed information in the new Activity Properties panel.
In the example below, you can see detailed information about the number and types of objects removed from a selected Purged activity.
DWG History has now been merged into Activity Insights. So when a file on a supported cloud storage provider such as Autodesk Docs, Google Drive, OneDrive, Box, and Dropbox is saved, a new file version appears as a Version activity on the Activity Insights palette. Click Compare within the Version activity to view the differences between the current and previous version.
You can also view a drawing’s activities without opening the file. From the Start tab, click Recent, and select your drawing. Then, click the vertical ellipsis and select View Activity Insights to see the drawing’s activities in the docked palette.
