# System notes **(FREE)**
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
System notes are short descriptions that help you understand the history of events
|
||
|
|
that occur during the life cycle of a GitLab object, such as:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- [Alerts](../../operations/incident_management/alerts.md).
|
||
|
|
- [Designs](issues/design_management.md).
|
||
|
|
- [Issues](issues/index.md).
|
||
|
|
- [Merge requests](merge_requests/index.md).
|
||
|
|
- [Objectives and key results](../okrs.md) (OKRs).
|
||
|
|
- [Tasks](../tasks.md).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
GitLab logs information about events triggered by Git or the GitLab application
|
||
|
|
in system notes. System notes use the format `<Author> <action> <time ago>`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Show or filter system notes
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
By default, system notes do not display. When displayed, they are shown oldest first.
|
||
|
|
If you change the filter or sort options, your selection is remembered across sections.
|
||
|
|
The filtering options are:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- **Show all activity** displays both comments and history.
|
||
|
|
- **Show comments only** hides system notes.
|
||
|
|
- **Show history only** hides user comments.
|
||
