Audit Trail¶

The history system provides a complete audit trail:

Immutable - History cannot be edited or deleted
Complete - Every change is recorded
Traceable - User and timestamp for each change
Exportable - History can be exported for compliance

Best Practices¶

Add change notes - Document why changes were made
Review before major changes - Check current state
Use filters - Focus on relevant changes
Export periodically - Keep external records for compliance
