Where can I see auditing information in CRM?
Once enabled, you can see audit history for an entity by opening the desired record and navigating to Audit History in the related menu.
The audit history will let you see what changes were made to the record, who made the changes, and when these changes were made.
NOTE: Audit history will only begin recording changes once auditing is enabled. Any changes made prior to this will not be listed.
