Audit Log

Learn how to access the audit log, which logs all user actions in Parcel.

Access the audit logs in Settings. Only admin users have access to the audit log. You can view the most recent 500 log results on the audit log page, or download all the results as a CSV.

The system logs a variety of user actions as audit logs. These logs are in the format:
