Log Activities allows you to monitor, track, and manage all the system-level actions performed across your platform. This includes updates made to system entities to provide complete visibility into the nature of each change, the responsible user, and the associated timestamp.
This feature ensures:
- Centralized action tracking for administrative transparency and audit readiness.
- Organized content monitoring by displaying activity across all content types in a single view.
- Enhanced accountability by logging each update with time and user details.
It helps maintain a secure and organized environment by allowing platform owners and administrators to stay informed of every backend action performed.
