Diffs
When you expand an audit log entry, you’ll see a before-and-after comparison of exactly what changed. For a metric edit, this might show the old formula next to the new one. For a category assignment, it shows which categories were added or removed. Diffs make it easy to review changes without guessing. If a number shifted in a report last Tuesday, you can find the exact change that caused it.People analytics definitions can affect board decks and headcount planning. The audit log keeps those definitions accountable — so when someone asks “why did this number change?”, you always have an answer.
