    Hello @1575475,

     

    The engineering team has updated me.

     

    Unfortunately, editing Microsoft Office documents in Dropbox does not trigger an event in the activity log. This is currently a feature gap, and the case is still open with the engineering team.

     

    Please note that I’m unable to provide a specific timeline for this case. However, if I receive any further updates, I will let you know.
