Did you Know

In SharePoint Online there is no easy way for a Site Collection Administrator, Power User, or Regular User to directly view the audit logs of a document, folder or list item. Audit logs must be requested from a Security / Audit level user who runs a report through Microsoft Purview Compliance Portal. There are no end-user friendly ways to access audit information.


Intelligently Surface Your SharePoint Audit History

View the Audit Log History of a document directly from within SharePoint. By enabling the Audit History for SharePoint menu on your Tenant, you empower your end users, power users and Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) to:

  • Easily view the item history for a particular document or folder within SharePoint.
  • Track user activity on individual documents or folders.
  • Identify permission issues and identify unauthorized access in SharePoint Online.
  • Reduce the need to get access to the Microsoft Purview compliance portal to run audit reports.
