About Activity Insights

Use Activity Insights to see your teammates' contributions to shared drawing files, compare version histories, and collaborate across AutoCAD products.

Activity Insights records each contributor's updates to a drawing file, streamlining collaboration and helping you pick up where you left off.

Note: Activities are logged even when the Activity Insights palette is closed. All activities are displayed the next time the palette opens.

Activity Insights Location

Activities are written to the Activity Insights location specified under the Files tab of the Options dialog box. The default Activity Insights location is C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Local\Autodesk\ActivityInsights\Common.

To use Activity Insights for collaboration, change this to a shared location.

Note: Currently, AutoCAD LT displays only Version activity on the Activity Insights palette. All activities are logged for drawings saved to Autodesk Docs, OneDrive, Box, Dropbox, and Google Drive.

Compare Different Versions

When you use Activity Insights with a supported cloud storage provider, you can easily compare previous and current versions.

Collaborating Across AutoCAD Products

All AutoCAD products record drawing activities. However, AutoCAD LT currently only displays Version activities on its palette, and AutoCAD mobile app does not yet have an Activity Insights palette. When working with collaborators across different AutoCAD products, make sure you are all saving to the same Activity Insights location.

AutoCAD, AutoCAD for Mac, and AutoCAD Web display all activities for the open drawing even if a specific activity isn't supported within that AutoCAD product. For example, the STANDARDS command is only supported in AutoCAD. But if used, the Standards activity will show up in the Activity Insights palette for AutoCAD for Mac and AutoCAD Web.
