I just found out that a row has been missing in my table for a while but I’m not sure when it was deleted.  
The row activity view ( [Row Activity | Coda Help Center](https://help.coda.io/en/articles/3670159-row-activity) ) is useful for history for a particular row, but if a row is missing, it’s difficult to tell when it went missing.

I suggest either a Table activity view, which could include row creation and deletion events.  
Or a Table trash bin that includes recently deleted rows (e.g. 30 days retention).

Hi Chris,

If you are on the team plan you can achieve something similar by locking the main table and allow changes only through a helper table and a button that logs those changes. Here you have an example

Or something even simpler, allow all changes except deleting, and implement a ‘Delete’ button that simply hides the row for the users.

Hope this helps,

Pablo
