Activity feed: what changed

A practical guide for architecture studio workflows in Beech.

All guides

Updated 16 August 2026 · Beech Product Education Team

A 90-day trail of status moves, vendor logs, and review decisions — when to use it instead of Home, and how to jump to one item.

Intent: Explain activity feed: what changed in a way that a new team member can follow without prior Beech context.

Who this helps: Architecture studio admins, managers, and contributors who need a repeatable operational workflow.

Home is what needs your attention now. Activity is what already happened. Open More → Activity for the last 90 days (default landing is This week): task status changes, vendor communication entries, and review decisions.

Read a row

Each event has a description, reference number, project, who did it, and when. Blocked and On Hold get a coloured edge so they stand out.

Filter and zoom in

Filter by project, type (Tasks / Vendors / Reviews), and range (Today through Last 90 days). Search by event title or project name. For one item's history, open the task panel's Activity tab (or the vendor request timeline). The firm-wide Activity page is a separate feed across projects you can access.

Admins see firm-wide activity. Managers and Contributors see activity for projects they belong to.

Prerequisites

  • Confirm you can access the project and the page referenced in this workflow.
  • Collect any drawing references, due dates, and ownership details before you start.

Expected outcome

By the end of this workflow, your team has one visible, repeatable process and cleaner handovers.

Common mistakes and prevention

  • Mistake 1: Skipping context fields (owner, due date, status notes), which makes follow-up harder.

  • Mistake 2: Treating chat updates as source of truth instead of recording the update in Beech.
