# Redaction Audit Log

## View Redaction Audit log

The Redaction Audit is a log of each created or deleted redaction performed in a single document. Redactions are organized newest to oldest by timestamp, but additional filtering can be set to organize by a user’s email or by action type (creating or deleting).

From the Document Viewer side panel, hover over the![Three vertical dots indicating a menu or options in a user interface.](https://cdn.us.document360.io/3e21d801-ca9f-4c51-93db-9cbd32741f3d/Images/Documentation/LGK_Blue-Ellipses_Icon(1).png)ellipses icon and click **View Redaction Audit** to open the Redaction Audit log.

## Interpreting the Redaction Label column

The Redaction Label column displays which redaction labels were applied at the specific timestamp. **A few important considerations when interpreting the log**:

- Redaction edits are not currently represented in this table.
- Currently, this table can’t help you distinguish between a redaction with one label vs. a redaction with multiple labels. For example, the below entry could mean either 3 separate redactions (two Exemption 4, one Exemption 7), or 2 redactions (one Exemption 4, and one combined Exemption 4 & 7).

- An empty value for the Redaction Label column means a redaction was created or deleted, but a label was not applied.
- **Bulk redactions** are not represented in the Redaction Audit log.
- **Auto-redactions** and redactions generated from the **PII Auto-Redact toggle** are represented in this log. This means, when a user enters a document and there are redactions automatically applied and saved, the log will reflect this and attach that user’s name to those log entries.

> [!NOTE]
> Note
> 
> The auto-redact toggle does not apply redaction labels, so the redaction label column will be blank for these redactions.
