Every workflow keeps a chronological Timeline of everything that has happened — status changes, item edits, assignments, comments, file uploads, billing actions, and member changes. It is the audit trail you reach for when answering "who did what, when?".
- Open the workflow.
- The Timeline card appears in the sidebar of the workflow detail page (look for the clock icon).
- Entries are shown newest first. Each entry includes:
- Timestamp — date and time in your timezone.
- Actor — the team member who triggered the action (or System for automated events like scheduled status changes).
- Description — what happened (e.g. "Changed status from In progress to Completed", "Added comment", "Uploaded receipt.pdf"*).
- Related link — for events tied to a specific item, comment, or file, a clickable link jumps you straight to it.
- Scroll to load older entries — the timeline is paginated for performance.
The timeline is read-only. You cannot edit or delete entries; that is what keeps it trustworthy as an audit record.
What gets recorded
- Workflow created, cloned, archived, completed, reopened, deleted.
- Status and sub-status changes, including the previous value.
- Item additions, edits, reorders, and deletions (in Edit Mode).
- Owner and assignee changes.
- Comments added or removed (the content is preserved).
- Files uploaded or deleted.
- Time entries linked to the workflow.
- Invoices created from the workflow, voids, and credit notes.
- Sharing actions (magic link shared, opened by client).
Filter what you see
Click the filter icon in the timeline card to narrow by event type — for example "only show status changes" when you are answering a question about progress, or "only show comments" when reviewing a conversation.
Tip: The timeline is the fastest way to answer questions during reviews and audits. Click the filter, narrow to the event type you need, and the page does the rest — no scrolling through unrelated noise.
Note: Timeline events are kept for the lifetime of the workflow. Even after a workflow is completed, the history remains accessible so you can prove what happened months or years later.
