Note: File History is a Team-only feature. Portal users (clients) cannot see the history or audit logs of any file.
Sydnee automatically tracks every interaction with your documents. From the moment a file is uploaded to every time it's shared, viewed, or moved, you have a timestamped record of who did what.
Accessing the history panel
Click on any file to open the preview.
In the right-hand panel, click History.
You will see a chronological timeline of all activity for that specific file.
What actions are tracked?
Sydnee logs a wide range of activities to ensure you always know the status of your documents:
Uploads: When the original file or any new version was added.
Views & Downloads: Every time a team member or a client previews or downloads the file.
Modifications: Renaming the file, moving it between folders, or starring/favoriting it.
Each entry shows the Actor (who did it), the Action, and a Timestamp.
Filtering and exporting history
Filtering by Actor
If a file has a lot of activity, use the filters at the top of the timeline to narrow things down:
All: Shows everything.
Team: Shows only internal staff activity.
Clients: Shows only actions taken by your clients (ideal for confirming if a client has viewed a deliverable).
Exporting to CSV
For compliance reporting or internal reviews, you can download the entire history of a version group.
Click the Export or Download History button (if available) within the panel to generate a CSV file containing the full audit trail.
