Change history provides a record of changes made to an account over the last 2 years.
View change history
In Admin, under Account or Property, click Account change history or Property change history.
Change history lists:
- Time: The date and time of the activity
- Location type: the Analytics account or property where the change took place
- Location name: the name of the Analytics account or property where the change took place
- Item type: the type of item that was changed, such as a data stream or Google Ads link
- Action: the change, such as create or modified, that was made to the item
- Changed by: Which Analytics user performed the activity.
Change history also captures some automated system changes.
Entries attributed to [deleted user] indicate that Analytics cannot retrieve an email address because the Google account for the user who made the change has been deleted.

The date range uses your operating system's time zone.
