Could someone explain what's the use of Audit Log and how do I know I've activated correctly?</P><P>Just for the record, I've installed Alfresco Content Services Community Edition 5.2.1 on my server.</P> Tue, 17 Mar 2020 16:13:31 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-forum/what-s-audit-log-for-and-how-do-i-know-if-i-ve-activated/m-p/98549#M28722 marcelo2m97 2020-03-17T16:13:31Z https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-forum/what-s-audit-log-for-and-how-do-i-know-if-i-ve-activated/m-p/98550#M28723 <P>Hi&nbsp;<A href="https://migration33.stage.lithium.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/80592">@marcelo2m97</A>,</P> <P>Alfresco has the ability to audit a multiplicity of activities.
