# View Activity In A Folder

To check the recent activity in a folder you are working in, such as files you or colleagues may have edited, created, renamed, or deleted, then you can do so via the folder activity view available from the File Explorer context menu.

Viewing the folder activity is useful if you want to locate a file that is no longer where you thought it was; perhaps you moved it but don't recall where to, or another colleague deleted it accidentally. You can identity such activity with the folder activity view.

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
From Windows File Explorer, right click the folder you want to check the activity of, expand the <code class="expression">space.vars.PRODUCT\_NAME</code> sub-menu then click the option "show recent activity in this folder"

{% endstep %}

{% step %}
The Activity dialog will pop-open and the recent editing activity in the folder will be shown. Use the scroll bar to scroll through the activity. For more details, select an item and click the Show Details button

{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Click the "More Actions..." button for additional options. You can save to a CSV file if you want to keep a record of the activity or analyse it. If you want to see all activity in the folder and all sub-folders below it, then click the option "Show activity in the entire folder structure"

{% endstep %}

{% step %}
When you have finished reviewing the activity, click the X button in the top right of the window to close it

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.zeedrive.com/user-guide/view-activity-in-a-folder.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
