The Activity Feed
The activity feed shows you a chronological stream of everything that has happened across your projects. New imports, stage changes, comments, collaborator updates — it is all here in one place.
Where to find it
Section titled “Where to find it”The activity feed lives on the dashboard. When you open Producer Dashboard, the feed is visible as part of your dashboard layout. It updates in real time, so you always see the latest activity without refreshing.
What appears in the feed
Section titled “What appears in the feed”The feed tracks meaningful changes to your music library. Each entry shows what happened, when it happened, and which track or project was affected.
Types of activity
Section titled “Types of activity”| Activity | What it means |
|---|---|
| Track imported | A new song was added to your library |
| Stage changed | A track moved from one workflow stage to another |
| Comment added | Someone left a comment on a track |
| Collaborator added | A new collaborator was attached to a track |
| Metadata updated | BPM, key, tags, or other metadata was changed |
| Due date set | A deadline was added or changed on a track |
| Project assignment | A track was moved to a different project |
| Track archived | A track was moved to the Archived stage |
| File updated | A new bounce or stem was added to a track group |
Each entry in the feed includes a timestamp and the name of the track or project involved.
Reading the feed
Section titled “Reading the feed”Activity is listed in reverse chronological order — the most recent change is at the top. Each entry is a single line or short block that tells you:
- What happened — the type of change (imported, stage changed, comment, etc.)
- Which track — the song name, clickable to jump to that track
- When — a relative timestamp (e.g., “5 minutes ago”, “2 hours ago”, “yesterday”)
- Who — if the change was made by a collaborator, their name appears
The feed is designed for quick scanning. You should be able to glance at it and understand the recent history of your library in a few seconds.
Real-time updates
Section titled “Real-time updates”The feed updates live. If a new track is imported while you are looking at the dashboard, the entry appears at the top of the feed without you doing anything. This is powered by real-time sync, so changes from any source — your own edits, collaborator activity, background processes — show up immediately.
This makes the feed especially useful if you work with collaborators. You can see their changes as they happen.
How far back the feed goes
Section titled “How far back the feed goes”The feed shows your most recent activity, typically covering the last several days of changes. It is not designed as a permanent audit log — it is a “what happened recently” view to help you stay current.
For older history, you can look at individual tracks on the tracks page. Each track’s activity panel shows its full change history regardless of how old the changes are.
Interacting with the feed
Section titled “Interacting with the feed”The feed is not just a display. You can interact with it:
- Click a track name to jump to that track on the tracks page with its details loaded in the activity panel.
- Click a project name to jump to the tracks page filtered to that project.
This makes the feed a navigation tool. When you see something interesting — a comment from a collaborator, a track that was just imported — one click takes you directly there.
Activity from collaborators
Section titled “Activity from collaborators”If you share tracks with collaborators, their changes appear in your feed too. This gives you visibility into what your team is doing without needing to check each track individually.
Collaborator activity is labelled with the collaborator’s name so you can tell who made the change. Common collaborator activity you might see:
- A collaborator left a comment on a shared track
- A collaborator updated metadata on a track
- A collaborator was added or removed from a track
Activity vs notifications
Section titled “Activity vs notifications”The activity feed and the notification system are related but different:
| Activity Feed | Notifications | |
|---|---|---|
| Purpose | Show what happened | Alert you to what needs attention |
| Location | Dashboard | Dashboard badges, warnings widget, toasts |
| Scope | All changes | Only important or actionable items |
| Action required | No — informational | Often yes — something needs your response |
Think of the activity feed as a newspaper. It tells you what happened. Notifications are more like an alarm — they tell you something needs your attention.
- Scan the activity feed every time you open PD. It takes 10 seconds and gives you context for your session.
- If you work with collaborators, the feed is the easiest way to see what they have been doing.
- Click through feed entries to jump directly to the relevant track. It is faster than navigating manually.
- The feed is best for recent activity. For full track history, use the activity panel on the tracks page.
- If the feed feels noisy, focus on the entries that are different from what you expected. Those are the ones worth investigating.
