View and export account activity history in a centralized audit log

Super admins with an Enterprise subscription can use a centralized audit log and the user analytics tab to troubleshoot issues and monitor user actions. You can also export reports if you need to share information with external third-parties, or further analysis is required, and set up notifications, to be notified of certain events. Learn about the different types of account activity below, and what an export includes.

If you use HubSpot's free tools, or have a Starter or Professional subscription, learn how you can view and export separate audit logs for user logins, employee access, security activity, or content activity.
