SharePoint Online: How to See Who has viewed a File?
Requirement: See who has viewed a document in SharePoint Online.
How to see who viewed a document in SharePoint?
Can we see who has viewed a file in SharePoint or OneDrive? Yes! We can track who has viewed a file in SharePoint Online with this nifty feature, “SharePoint Viewers”. To see who has viewed a document in SharePoint, do the following:
- Go to Site Settings >> Click on “Manage Site Features” under Site Actions
- Activate the “SharePoint Viewers” feature.
Wait for a few minutes and when hovering over a document, You’ll see the names of the people who have viewed a document!
Without this feature active, SharePoint just gives you how many people have viewed a document (without telling who has viewed it!).
Doesn´t work on images?
Hi Salaudeen, do you think there will be way to get a csv report of the users that have viewed pages/files using PowerShell or out of box?
Same question here – would also like to know if you could tie the o365 audit log api to something in power automate or BI and cross reference that with a subset of users. If someone does not review a document within X time, send a reminder email to view this document for a compliance tracking type thing?
Would you happen to have a PowerShell script that could turn this feature on for several sites (input a CSV File)?
You can refer this post to activate a feature on multiple sites in SharePoint: SharePoint Online: Activate a Feature on All Sites using PowerShell
