History Log

How to access

Step 1 — Open the action bar (the global search/command bar at the top of the screen).

Step 2 — Type History Log and press Enter or select Go to history log from the results.

Understanding the log

Each row represents one action taken in the system. The columns are:

• Action type — The type of operation performed (e.g., update_record, create_app, create_field, update_profile, create_backend_function).
• Table or App ID — The identifier of the table or app affected by the action.
• Record Label — A human-readable label for the record that was changed, when available.
• Before — A JSON snapshot of the entity's state before the action.
• After — A JSON snapshot of the entity's state after the action.
• Action source — How the action was triggered: interface (a user acting through the UI) or api (triggered programmatically).
• Entity type — The kind of entity affected (e.g., table, app, field, profile, backend_function).
• Affected fields — The specific fields that were changed in the action, when applicable.
• IP address — The IP address from which the action originated.
• User — The user who performed the action.
• Date — Timestamp of when the action occurred.

Use cases and examples

• A record was changed unexpectedly and you need to find out who edited it and what the previous value was.
• You want to audit all actions taken by a specific user over a period of time.
• You need to trace whether a change came from the interface or from an API/automation call.
• You're investigating a misconfiguration and want to see the exact before/after state of an app or field.

Keep in mind

• The History Log covers all entity types in the organization — records, apps, fields, profiles, and more — not just table data.
• The Before and After columns contain raw JSON and may be truncated in the table view. Click a row to see the full content.
• The log is read-only — you cannot undo or revert actions directly from this view.
• Actions performed via API and via the interface are both tracked, and the Action source column tells you which.

FAQ

1- Can I filter the log by a specific user or action type?

Yes. Use the filter and search controls at the top right of the table to narrow results by any column, including user, action type, date, or entity type.

2- Is there a way to see the full Before/After values instead of the truncated preview?

Yes. Click on the row to open its full detail view, where you can read the complete JSON snapshot.

3- Can I export the History Log?

Yes. Use the download icon at the top right of the table to export the log data.

4- Does the History Log show automation-triggered changes?

Changes triggered by automations via API will appear with api as the Action source. For a dedicated view of automation execution history, use the Run Log.
