### Introduction to Audit Logs

An **Audit log** (or **audit trail**) is a record of events and changes. The Whatfix Audit logs capture events that show "**who"** did "**what"** on the Whatfix Dashboard and "**when"**. These logs provide insights into past user activities.

Whatfix captures logs that enable auditing of specific actions performed by users on Whatfix. For example, track the last user who exported content from the Whatfix Dashboard.
