After selecting the folder, click Save & Close to finalize the changes.

After enabling Data Streaming, the system will automatically handle the subscription to Box’s real-time events. There is no need to manually configure Webhooks.

After the subscription is activated (green magnifying glass icon), real-time events will start flowing into the platform, and you will be able to monitor them from various sections of Getvisibility.
Navigate to the Live Events section under Administration to view a detailed audit log of all streaming events.
In this section, you can filter and view event details.
