Introduction
XTM Cloud offers a quite enhanced feature which allows for keeping track of almost all changes performed within the framework of a single project in XTM Cloud. It enables you to check, among others, such things as:
Names of the constituent files, users,
Target languages,
Specific actions performed,
Objects of the Additional details about actions performed.
The feature in question is called Project history and is manifested in the form of an XLSX file. It can be generated and downloaded by Project Managers, directly from the project’s context menu, from XTM Cloud [Projects → Project list → Simple search → (click on three dots next to a relevant XTM project) → Download → Project history].
...
The Project history report consists of a few columns. Each one provides a row with a different significant piece of the overall information which that gets formed by putting together all the pieces in a single row.

COLUMN | DESCRIPTION |
|---|---|
Date [TIME_ZONE] | This column displays actual date of a particular event. The date is presented in the format which has been selected for a particular user who downloads the file, in the XTM instance, in Configuration → User details → General info → Date format.  The time zone which appears is displayed to the right of the date is presented in the format that has been selected for a particular user who downloads the file, in the XTM instance, in Configuration → User details → General info → Time zone.  |
User ID | This column displays ID of the user who triggered a particular event. The ID is taken from the user information, in Users → User list → (find a relevant user) → tooltip → ID.  |
User name | This column displays username of a user who triggered a particular event [Users → User list → (select a user) → General → General info → Username].  |
LSP ID | This column displays ID of the LSP who triggered a particular event, if this was the LSP indeed [Users → LSPs → LSPs → (find a relevant LSP) → tooltip → LSP ID].  |
LSP name | This column displays company name of the LSP who triggered a particular event, if this was the LSP indeed [Users → LSPs → LSPs → (select a relevant LSP) → General → Company name].  |
Job ID | This column displays ID of an XTM job within the framework of which a particular event occurred. The ID is taken from the related XTM project in the XTM Cloud UI [Project Editor → Workflow → (click on the context menu of a relevant XTM job) → Additional job details → Job ID].  |
Project ID | This column displays ID of an XTM project, within the framework of which a particular event occurred. The ID of the XTM project can be found in a couple of places in XTM Cloud. The value in the column is identical across all the rows in the entire file. For more information, read the following article: How to find a project ID. |
Project name | This column displays name of the XTM project, within the framework of which a particular event occurred. The ID of the XTM project can be found in a couple of places in XTM Cloud. The value in the column is identical across all the rows in the entire file. For more information, read the following article: How to find basic contact details (URL, company name, project name). |
Target language | This column displays project’s target language within the framework of which a particular event occurred. Pay attention to a relevant target language if the project in question contains more than one target language (Project Editor → Workflow → Target language).  |
File name | This column displays name of the source file within the framework of which a particular event occurred. Source files' names can be found in Project Editor → Workflow.  |
Action name | This column might be the most important one in the entire report since it displays information about a type of specific action that took place within the framework of a particular XTM project. See project-related actions registered in the report below:
|
Additional information | This is probably the second most important column in the report since it mostly displays more detailed information about the action described in the corresponding row in the Action name column. For some actions triggering a specific change, the column indicates the object of the change, whereas the for other actions, the column provides more details. Some actions are not accompanied by any additional information See examples below:

IMPORTANT! Keep in mind that actions performed via API were not included in the table above. Not In general, not all API actions are registered in the Project history report. |

File history
XTM Cloud also offers the File history report, which is technically the same report as the Project history one, containing the same information. However, it only displays information about the source file for which it has been generated, which means that the File name column is not included in the said report at all.
The File history report can be downloaded for any single source file from its context menu [Project Editor → Workflow → (click on the context menu of a relevant source file) → Reports → File history].
