About the Audit Trail

The Audit Trail shows you how your data changes over time, whether changes happen directly in your Cube Portal (like syncs and flat file imports) or your Cube Add-On (like, data publishes).

At a macro level, it shows you the change date, the team member who made it, a corresponding message, and the event type.

Whenever data is changed, Cube creates a corresponding Audit Trail page that gives you an in-depth look at the exact changes.
