Track file and Page changes with the audit log Updated July 31, 2026 16:08 The audit log provides a transparent history of modifications made to files and Pages in your Showpad libraries. By viewing these logs directly within the detail panel of a file or Page, you can track version updates, metadata changes, and API-driven modifications to ensure your content remains accurate and compliant.

What triggers an audit log entry The audit log records changes to a file or Page's metadata, including updates to its name, tags, and permissions. However, it does not yet track modifications made to a Page’s content. Logged actions Adding or removing authors Renaming a file or Page Adding or removing tags Changing permissions, such as who can share or download the asset Uploading a new version Changing the expiration date or release date Updating the description Changing Division sharing settings (is Global) Changing localization settings Adding a comment Changes made through the Content API or Automation Rules Not logged Edits to the content inside a Page, such as adding, removing, or changing text and content blocks. These edits update the Page's last updated date, but they don't create an audit log entry.
