When you add a modern page to a site, you add and customize web parts, which are the building blocks of your page. This article focuses on the Site activity web part.

This web part automatically shows recent activity on your site, such as files uploaded, edits made, lists and libraries created, and so on. Just add the web part, and the latest activity is pulled in automatically.
