About the administrative audit log

All site-level administrative actions are logged and you can view this information using the Administer Audit Logs link in the "Admin Options" section of your Start Page. The Audit Log keeps a cumulative record of key administrative events in your domain. Optionally you can append notes to log entries preserve more detailed historical information.

The Audit Log displays 50 entries per page identified by date/time, person, and location, logging the most recent actions in the first page displayed. The log may be filtered on any of the fields displayed to extrapolate specific site information. For example, if you are not the only domain administrator on your site, the log can provide a useful reference of the administrative actions conducted by each person. Also, log actions for specific projects yield detailed histories of the project beginning from its inception.
