How to view project history in Vaiz

Need a quick audit trail for a project? Vaiz keeps a time-ordered Project History so you can see what changed, when it happened, and who made the change.

In this article, you’ll learn where to find Project History and how to use filters or grouped views to review project activity faster.

History overview

Vaiz has several history views depending on what activity you want to review.

Space History shows activity across the whole space. To open it, go to the space you need and click History in the left menu.

• Project History shows activity inside a specific project (learn how to create a project). To open it, go to the project and click History in the project's left menu

• Personal History shows activity related to a specific team member. To open your own history, click your profile avatar in the top-right corner, select My page, and switch to the History tab.

Note: this article focuses on Project History, but the same search and view options are also available in other history sections.

Step 1. Open project history

Click the space switcher in the top-left corner and select the space you want to work in.

Then, from the left sidebar, choose the project you want to open.

Note: You’ll know you’re inside a project when the sidebar icons are tinted with the project’s color.

In the project’s left menu, click History.

You’ll see a time-ordered list of events for this project. The newest events appear first, and older events load as you scroll.

What you can see in project history

Project History can include different types of activity, depending on what happened in the project.

For example, you may see:

• Task events: task creation, completion, assignment changes, movement between groups, priority updates, type changes, or deletion.
• Board events: creation, renaming, archiving, or removal.
• Group changes: moving tasks between board groups.
• Milestone updates: creation, renaming, status changes, or deletion.
• Document activity: creation, renaming, updates, or deletion.
• Project-level changes: renaming or changes to project settings.
• Access-related events: members being invited, added, removed, or given updated access.

The exact list depends on the activity in your project and the filters you apply.

Note: items that reference a specific object (like a task ID, milestone, or document) usually include a link – click it to open the item’s details in the main area. Some entries are informational only and won’t have a link.

Step 2. Search project history

Use the “Search tasks” field at the top of the history page to find events related to a specific task.

Note: you can search by task title or task ID. This is useful when you want to review what happened to one task without scrolling through the full project history.

Step 3. Filter project history

Use filters at the top of the page to narrow the history view. You can filter history by date, boards, groups, members, and events.

Date

Use Date when you want to check what changed on a specific day or during a selected period.

Boards

Use Boards to show events related to a specific board in the project.

Groups

Use Groups to review task movement between board groups. In this context, a group means a column on the board, such as Backlog, In Progress, Todo, or Done.

Note: Groups in the filter are organized by board, so you may see the same group name under different board sections. Choose the group under the board you want to review.

Learn more about board groups in our guide on how to customize a board.

Members

Use Members to see actions performed by specific people.

Events

Use Events to filter history by activity type. The list is grouped by event category, so you can choose the area you want to review:

• Task events
• Milestone events
• Document events
• Board events
• Project events
• Space events
• Group events

Note: To clear a selected filter, just click the close icon next to it.

Step 4. Group history by item

Turn on “Grouped” if you want to organize history entries by item instead of viewing them only as a timeline.

• When Grouped is turned off, events appear one by one in chronological order. This view is useful when you want to follow the sequence of changes across the project.

• When Grouped is turned on, related events are collected under the same item. For example, several changes made to one task will appear together under that task, and document updates can appear together under the same document.

You can turn Grouped on or off at any time without changing the history data itself. It only changes how the same events are displayed.

Conclusion

That’s it! Use Project History to review important changes in one place, especially when you need a quick audit trail or want to understand how the work evolved without digging through boards and tasks.
