Track Changes in Layer

This video walks through several practical ways to track changes in a Layer project, from simple manual updates to automated review and notification workflows.

Layer provides multiple tools to document what changed, who made the update, and when it occurred. Rather than enforcing a single workflow, Layer allows teams to combine these tools in a way that matches their internal processes and project requirements.

What you will learn

Track changes at the element level

Use custom status fields, notes, responsibility assignments, and the activity log to record and review changes with clear context.

Automate review workflows

Set up automations that update statuses, create changelog entries, and notify stakeholders when quantities or other values change.

Review and surface changes clearly

Filter recent updates by date or timeframe, highlight changes in spec sheets, and control visibility using conditional formatting and show or hide rules.
