Audit Trail (Change Log)

Audit trail (Change Log) tracks all the changes that have been made in the application. It will display the user name who effected the change, the server date and time when the change was done. It also displays the version number of the action and the status of the record. You can also view the older versions by clicking on the Previous button. Any changes made in the field values will be displayed in Red Color.

The Change Log is available only if there are any user-editable fields in that screen. Also, the Audit Trail does not display the version numbers that were created automatically by Aura (and not as a result of user-input in that screen).
