What you will learn
- What the audit log records
- How to find a particular change
The Audit log records what happened in the system: who did it, what they changed, when, and whether it worked.
Nothing can be edited or removed
The audit log is append-only. Entries cannot be changed or deleted by anybody — including you, and including anybody who got hold of your password. That is what makes it trustworthy.
Find a change
Step 1. Click Audit log in the left-hand menu.
Step 2. Type a name or a record into the search box.
Step 3. Narrow it with Any action, Any entity or Any outcome.
Step 4. Set a date range if you know roughly when it happened.
Step 5. Click Details on a row to see exactly what changed.
