Wait for SharePoint to start collecting user activity data.

View the report, which can include graphs, tables, or other data visualizations of user activity and SharePoint usage.

Each step may have some variations depending on the specific version of SharePoint and your site settings. We recommend that you review the SharePoint documentation and user guide for more details and instructions specific to your SharePoint environment.
