# How to see who changed a record

**For:** Manager
**You'll need:** A role that can edit the record — history shows on edit pages.

{{ app_name }} keeps a change history for the records you manage: shifts and their assignments, people, locations, areas, positions, skills, employment types, work and break rules, holidays, leave policies and leave requests, budgets, availability, marketplace offers, schedule templates, kiosk devices, and company settings. You'll open a record's history and read who changed what, and when.

## Open the history

1. Open the record's edit page — for example, click a shift on the schedule and choose to edit it.
2. Click the **History** icon button in the top-right of the page (a clock with a counter-clockwise arrow).

The **'History'** dialog opens with a table of the most recent changes, newest first.

## Read the entries

Each row has three columns:

- **When** — the date and time of the change, shown in your timezone.
- **Who** — the person who made the change. Automated changes (for example, an automatic approval sweep) show as **'System'**.
- **Change** — whether the record was **Created**, **Updated**, or **Deleted**, followed by each changed field with its old and new value. The old value is struck through; the arrow points at the new one.

Only fields that actually changed are listed. Creating a record lists the values that were filled in; deleting one lists the values it had.

```{note}
Some pages show history for related records too. A shift's history includes its assignments — who was added or removed — and keeps those entries even after an assignment is deleted. When entries belong to different records, each row names the record it refers to.
```

## Close the dialog

Click **'Close'**. The history is read-only — nothing on the page changes.

## What's recorded

- Every create, edit, and delete of the record types listed above — whether it happened in the browser, in the mobile app, over the API, or through a bulk action.
- The dialog shows the 25 most recent entries. Passwords and other secrets are never recorded.

## Verify it worked

Edit any field on a record, save, and reopen the **History** dialog. The top row shows your name, the time, and the field's old and new value.
