## **What are Audit Logs?**

Audit logs give Onna Admins the ability to understand user activity inside the platform. Specifically, audit logs will show users’ actions such as adding/deleting sources, syncing errors, viewing documents, and sharing. Audit logs provide an added level of security to your platform by offering visibility into user actions.

## **Viewing Audit Logs**

To access Onna audit logs follow the steps below:

### Step 1

To begin, select **“Audit Logs”** from the navigation menu inside the Admin Console.

### Step 2

From here you will be taken to the Audit Logs main page where you will see a list of logs. The list will be sorted by date, beginning with the most recent. However, each column can be sorted in ascending or descending order.

Additionally, you can filter your audit logs for a customized view by clicking in one of two places:

1. **“+Add filter”** above your audit logs
2. The **“Filter” icon** in the upper right corner of your screen
