Audit Logs vs. activity history
Some records have their own History tab: a data collection activity, an ESG answer or an LCA product. That history shows how one record changed, with old and new values, and LCA products can be restored to a previous version. Audit Logs are the account-wide log: every change, by every user, in one list you can filter and export.
What happens when a user or account is removed?
When someone is removed from your account, their past actions show as Unknown user. The record of what changed and when is kept. If your account is closed, its audit logs are permanently deleted.
FAQs
Can I undo a change from Audit Logs?
No. Audit Logs are read-only. Edit the data where it lives; LCA products can be restored from their own history.
Why don’t I see a change I expected?
Check your filters and date range first. The change may also predate Audit Logs, belong to an LCA product or GHG activity data, or have failed to save.
