How do you use the Audit Log to review changes by different users in QuickBooks Online?

• A. Open Audit Log and view all changes without filters.
• B. Use Audit Log to revert changes automatically.
• C. Open Audit Log, filter by date or user, view actions taken, and verify if any unauthorized changes occurred.
• D. Audit Log is not used for user activity.

Answer: (C)

The ability to review who did what and when in your QuickBooks Online data is what the Audit Log is for. It tracks changes by users and shows details like what was changed, who made the change, and the exact time.

To review changes by different users, open the Audit Log and apply filters such as date range and specific user. Filtering helps you quickly zero in on the relevant events rather than wading through every entry. After filtering, you can see the actions taken, the records affected, and the exact changes, which lets you verify whether any unauthorized or unexpected edits occurred.

This approach is preferred because it focuses your review on the relevant period or user, making it easier to detect issues. The Audit Log itself does not automatically revert changes; it provides visibility so you can decide what to fix. And yes, the Audit Log is specifically used to track user activity.
