# Audit Chrome Extension Events in GAT Shield

[GAT Shield](https://gatlabs.com/knowledge/tech-tips/gat-shield-overview/) lets Admins audit Chrome extension activity across their entire Google Workspace domain. You can track every install, enable, or disable event to improve visibility, enforce extension policies, and respond to risky behaviour.

## How to View Chrome Extension Events in GAT Shield

To view these events, navigate to **Shield > Audit > Extension events**.

### Filter Extension Activity by User, Extension, or Date

Within the **"Extension events"** section, you can:

- **Filter users:** Specify individual users to audit their extension activity.
- **Filter extensions:** Focus on particular Chrome extensions.
- **Select a time range:** Define a specific period for which you want to review the data.

### Types of Extension Events Tracked by Shield

The following event types are recorded:

- **Installed:** An extension has been added to a user's Chrome account.
- **Enabled:** An extension that was previously installed or disabled has been activated for a user.
