The overview tab of the project has a timeline on the right panel, shows when teams/members join the project, and when status updates are shared. I want to be able to track recent activity on the project such as tasks added & completed.

This would be helpful both for current projects, knowing what’s been added or completed recently, and for reviewing and cleaning up old projects to know when the last activity was, to know if the project should’ve been marked complete &/or archived.

Hi, @Holly_Deegan .

I certainly think it would be convenient to use.

Currently, there is a summary function, which seems to be able to do something quite similar to what you are requesting. How does it differ from what you are requesting?

Hi @Holly_Deegan , great suggestion!  
Can we merge into this? :

> [@Create Activity feed to Teams & Projects](https://forum.asana.com/t/create-activity-feed-to-teams-projects/7843):
>
> It would be great if Teams and Projects had a page with summary of all activity in that team/project – on every level down the hierarchy. Such an activity feed on several levels of the hierarchy would serve two purposes: It would make it easier for people to get a quick idea of the history of the team/project It would make it easier to find back to files, comments, discussions, etc. when you don’t remember whether they were added to the team conversation, project conversation or task comments…

or this? :

> [@Create a "recent" tab on Asana projects that functions like the "inbox" feature except it is just all activity on the project sorted by most recent](https://forum.asana.com/t/create-a-recent-tab-on-asana-projects-that-functions-like-the-inbox-feature-except-it-is-just-all-activity-on-the-project-sorted-by-most-recent/134700):
>
> That way, as a project manager, I can look at the most recent work or conversation happening in a project without having to search task by task or having to search through my inbox (which has notifications from ALL projects).
