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. 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.
