Hi there,

I’ve been asked a somewhat interesting question I don’t know the answer to. Are we able to see version history for a property at the schema level? For example, a user archives 3 Contact properties. Is there a way to view any data surrounding that event? The most important part here would be the ability to identify the userId of the person that made these changes if it was done via the HubSpot UI.

I’ve done some searching of my own that hasn’t yielded any positive results. The closest I got to it was the doc [HERE.](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/account/export-account-activity-history)  
The above seems to provide just about everything apart from what I need.

Appreciate any help you could provide!

Hey @nikodev

If you hit the [Properties API](https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/api/crm/properties) and add the query parameter **archived=true** , you will see all of the archived properties for that object type. You will also see the user id of who created it and who last modified it

```lia-code-sample
"createdUserId": "11176268",
"updatedUserId": "11176268"

```

@dennisedson This is exactly what I was looking for. I completely forgot about that parameter, and it didn’t even cross my mind that the archiving of a property would be classified as an update (which is exactly what it is). Thanks a lot.
