The new What's Changed insight provides an overview of edits made between Saved activities, allowing you to efficiently continue your work.
Introducing the What's Changed Insight
When you click a Saved activity tile in the Activity Insights palette, you'll now see the What's Changed insight in the Activity Properties panel.
This insight provides a high-level summary of changes made during each edit session. This can help you know what happened since you last worked in the drawing and continue where you left off.
The What's Changed insight is tied to the drawing, not to individual users, so all AutoCAD collaborators working on the drawing can create and view the same insights.
Generally, each What's Changed insight includes:
- A list of changes for specific objects
- A workflow breakdown based on command execution
- Elapsed edit time
- File size changes
Each insight includes a thumbs up or down feedback option, allowing you to rate its helpfulness. Additionally, you can provide more specific feedback through the Help us improve link in the What's Changed header.
We hope this new addition to Activity Insights enhances your collaboration and streamlines your workflow.
Technical Requirements
- You must be connected to the internet to receive the What's Changed insight.
- The What's Changed insight is currently available only on AutoCAD. This means that the insight will not reflect changes made in the drawing through other AutoCAD products.
- Additionally, only drawings stored locally, on a LAN, or in Autodesk Docs will receive the What's Changed insight. Drawings stored on supported cloud storage providers such as Google Drive, OneDrive, Box, and Dropbox will not receive the insight.
Search and Filter
We've simplified our search and filter bars for ease of use. Now, you can filter activities by time, users, and specific activities with one button.
You can also access filters easily by right-clicking any activity. This action allows you to filter by the user who did the activity, or filter by the same type of activity.
Renovation Plan Changed Event
In AutoCAD Architecture and MEP 2026 toolsets, the Activity Insights captures activities related to renovation mode and provides detailed information for selected activities.
- When you activate renovation mode for the first time.
- When you create a new renovation display configuration.
- Activity Insights generates an event each time you activate renovation mode or create a new display configuration.
- If you cancel the operation without activating renovation mode or creating a new display configuration, no event is generated.
- Activating an existing renovation display configuration does not generate an event.
