View OKR History

The History tab in Digital.ai OKRs provides complete visibility into all changes, updates, and activities for objectives and their associated key results. Use the history to track accountability, understand decision evolution, and monitor progress over time.

What You Can Track

The History tab displays a chronological timeline of all activities including:

  • Objective creation and updates: See when objectives were created and what changes were made
  • Key result creation and modifications: Track when key results are added and updated
  • Progress changes: Monitor progress updates (for example, "Objective progress updated from Not Started to In Progress")
  • Linked objectives: View when objectives are linked or unlinked
  • User actions: Identify which team members made specific changes with timestamps

Understanding History Entries

Each history entry shows:

  • User attribution: The name and profile picture of the team member who performed the action
  • Timestamp: When the action occurred (for example, "1 hr ago")
  • Action type: What happened (for example, "KeyResult created", "Objective Progress Changed", "Linked objectives Changed")
  • Change details: Specific information about the change, such as:
    • Field values before and after updates
    • New progress percentages
    • Added or removed linked objectives
    • Created key results with their IDs
