# Viewing activities on secure content

Users of the Safe Share web application can view a history of [specific activities](/3.5/compatweb/viewing-activities-on-secure-content.md#types-of-activities-indicated) performed on a file or folder.

**To view the activities performed on a file or folder:**

1. [Sign in](/3.5/compatweb/signing-in.md) to the Safe Share web application.
2. [Locate](/3.5/compatweb/managing-secure-content.md#finding-secure-content) the file or folder whose activity you wish to view.
3. *Highlight* the item, by clicking on the item's row (to the right of its name): \


   ![Highlighting a shared item as an owner](https://mintcdn.com/cocoondata/MnwEzgXdF2yy5sI6/images/2c7d43465919-highlighting-a-shared-item-owner.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=MnwEzgXdF2yy5sI6\&q=85\&s=c4fd0939825da74810130b6afeba1286)
4. Click the **History** tab to reveal a history of activities performed on the item in reverse chronological order: \


   ![Activity feed as an owner](https://mintcdn.com/cocoondata/XFCH1-fsOPTworsw/images/c39db0fa0de8-activity-feed-owner.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=XFCH1-fsOPTworsw\&q=85\&s=161238cf262934e0b219ee1699038113)

## Types of activities indicated

The types of activities indicated on a file or folder (i.e. item) depend on the following conditions:

* As one of the following:

  * the *owner* of an item,
  * a *collaborator*<sup>1</sup> with **Manage** [permissions](/3.5/compatweb/uploading-storing-and-sharing-content-securely.md#selecting-a-permission-set) on an item, or
  * a *collaborator* with **Upload** permissions on an item you created<sup>2</sup>,

  the **History** tab shows when (and by whom) the item was created, as well as each time anyone with access to the item:

  * [Viewed](/3.5/compatweb/accessing-secure-content.md#viewing-and-printing-secure-content) or [downloaded](/3.5/compatweb/accessing-secure-content.md#downloading-secure-content) the item (if it is a file).
  * Modified:

    * the item's name or
    * the item's location.
  * As the owner of the item only, modified:

    * whom the item is [shared](/3.5/compatweb/uploading-storing-and-sharing-content-securely.md#sharing-secure-content) with or
    * a [collaborator's permissions](/3.5/compatweb/uploading-storing-and-sharing-content-securely.md#selecting-a-permission-set) on the item (when [sharing](/3.5/compatweb/uploading-storing-and-sharing-content-securely.md#sharing-secure-content) it).
* As a *collaborator* with either **Download** or **View** permissions on a file you *did not* create, the **History** tab shows each time you either [viewed](/3.5/compatweb/accessing-secure-content.md#viewing-and-printing-secure-content) or [downloaded](/3.5/compatweb/accessing-secure-content.md#downloading-secure-content) that file.
* As a *collaborator* with **Upload**, **Download** or **View** permissions on a folder you *did not* create, no activity is shown on the **History** tab.

<sup>1</sup> A *collaborator* on an item is someone who has permission to access the item. However, the collaborator does not own this item because the item is located in a folder owned by someone else. \

<sup>2</sup> A *collaborator* in this context is yourself, having created a folder or uploaded a file within a folder owned by someone else. If the item is a file, then Safe Share implicitly downgrades its permissions from **Upload** to **Download** since, from a usability perspective, it is not possible to upload content to a file.
