# Estimate & Invoice Activity

The activity log in PaintScout tracks every event on an estimate or invoice — creation, sending, viewing, acceptance, and payments. Access it from the dashboard or within any individual estimate or invoice.

## Where do you find activity on the dashboard?

The **activity** section on your dashboard shows recent events across all estimates.

## How do you view activity on an estimate?

Open the sidebar menu and select the **Activity** tab to see all events for that specific estimate, including when customers viewed or interacted with it.
