The Audit history serves as a record of all the changes made on a specific transaction. In the Audit history, you can find the following information:

  • Who made the changes.
  • When the changes were made.
  • What the changes are.
Note:Only users with full access rights will be able to view the Audit history.

To view transaction changes in Audit history:

  1. Open the transaction you'd like to investigate. For example, to open a sales transaction, such as Invoice or Estimate:
    • Go to All apps A bunch of numbers and letters on a tile wall., select Sales & Get Paid, then select Sales transactions (Take me there).
    • Select View/Edit under the Action column.
      Note: The above steps may vary depending on your transaction type.
  2. Select More actions or More.
    Note: The option name may vary depending on the transaction type. For example, for Bill or Cheque, you may see a More option.
  3. Select Audit history to open the Audit trail.
  4. By default, you will see the expanded view. For a side-by-side comparison, select Compare Versions from the View Mode â–Ľ dropdown, then follow the next steps.
    Note: To see the expanded view again, select Show Timeline from the View Mode â–Ľ dropdown.
