# SharePoint Embedded audit log events

SharePoint Embedded operations on container types are captured in the Microsoft 365 unified audit log through [Microsoft Purview](/purview/audit-solutions-overview). These events let compliance administrators and developers track changes to container type definitions and their tenant registrations.

For general information about searching the audit log, see [Search the audit log](/purview/audit-search). For a broader overview of all compliance capabilities available for content stored in SharePoint Embedded, see [Security and Compliance](security-and-compliance.md).

## Container type activities

The following events are logged when a container type is created, updated, or deleted. Container types define the relationship between a SharePoint Embedded application and its containers. For more information, see [SharePoint Embedded container types](../getting-started/containertypes.md).

These events use `Workload` value `SharePoint` in the unified audit log.

| Friendly name | Operation | Description |
|:--|:--|:--|
| Created container type | ContainerTypeCreated | A new SharePoint Embedded container type definition was provisioned. |
| Deleted container type | ContainerTypeDeleted | A SharePoint Embedded container type was deleted. |
| Updated container type | ContainerTypeUpdated | Properties of a SharePoint Embedded container type, such as name or configuration, were changed. |
| Updated container type owners | ContainerTypeOwnersUpdated | Owners were added to or removed from a SharePoint Embedded container type. |

These events appear in the Microsoft Purview audit log under the **SharePoint Embedded Container Type activities** category. For the full reference of all audit activities, see [Audit log activities](/purview/audit-log-activities#sharepoint-embedded-container-type-activities).

## Container type registration activities

The following events are logged when a container type registration is created, updated, or deleted in a consuming tenant. Container type registrations are required for a SharePoint Embedded application to operate in a given tenant. For more information, see [Consuming Tenant Admin](../administration/consuming-tenant-admin/ctaUX.md).

These events use `Workload` value `SharePoint` in the unified audit log.

| Friendly name | Operation | Description |
|:--|:--|:--|
| Created container type registration | ContainerTypeRegistrationCreated | A SharePoint Embedded container type registration was created in a tenant. |
| Deleted container type registration | ContainerTypeRegistrationDeleted | A SharePoint Embedded container type registration was deleted from a tenant. |
| Updated container type registration | ContainerTypeRegistrationUpdated | A SharePoint Embedded container type registration was updated in a tenant. |

These events appear in the Microsoft Purview audit log under the **SharePoint Embedded Container Type Registration activities** category. For the full reference of all audit activities, see [Audit log activities](/purview/audit-log-activities#sharepoint-embedded-container-type-registration-activities).

## Searching for SharePoint Embedded audit events

To search for SharePoint Embedded audit events:

1. Go to the [Microsoft Purview portal](https://purview.microsoft.com) and select **Audit**.
1. On the **Search** page, filter by the relevant activity category:
- **SharePoint Embedded Container Type activities** for container type events.
- **SharePoint Embedded Container Type Registration activities** for registration events.
1. Set the date range and select **Search**.

You can also use PowerShell to search for these events:

```powershell
Search-UnifiedAuditLog -Operations ContainerTypeCreated,ContainerTypeDeleted,ContainerTypeUpdated,ContainerTypeOwnersUpdated,ContainerTypeRegistrationCreated,ContainerTypeRegistrationDeleted,ContainerTypeRegistrationUpdated -StartDate (Get-Date).AddDays(-7) -EndDate (Get-Date)
```

Container type audit events include the `ContainerTypeId` property to identify the relevant container type. Unlike container-level file events, container type events don't include `ContainerInstanceId` because they apply at the type level, not to individual container instances.

For more information on how to search and filter audit results for SharePoint Embedded content, see the [Audit section](security-and-compliance.md#audit) of the Security and Compliance article.

## Schema reference

Container type and container type registration audit events use the SharePoint base schema. For the full schema definition and enum values, see the [Office 365 Management Activity API schema](/office/office-365-management-api/office-365-management-activity-api-schema#sharepoint-base-schema).
