File Log / Chain of Custody

Overview

The File Log keeps track of every action taken within a file. It serves as a detailed audit trail and can be exported or printed for record-keeping purposes.

To access the File Log, click the comment icon located on the toolbar.

The File Log shows:

  • When the file has been added to the project.
  • When AI detection starts and ends.
  • Who accessed the file and when.

Think of the File Log as the audit trail. It does apply to each file in the project, but rather records the activity for every file, instead of just capturing activity to the project file only.
