YouTrack Standalone 2020.2 Help

View Issue Updates

In single issue view, all changes that are applied to an issue are displayed in a single feed that we call the activity stream. The activity stream has filters that let you select which types of changes you want to show or hide.

Here's an example of the activity stream that shows an issue history, VCS changes, and a comment:

Single issue activity stream

The following controls are available in the toolbar at the top of the activity stream:
