# Audit Log

An audit log in a workflow serves as a critical tool for maintaining transparency, security, and accountability. It meticulously records all actions and changes within the workflow, including timestamps, user identities, and descriptions of the activities performed. This ensures a clear and traceable history of events, which is particularly important for verifying the authenticity and integrity of digitally signed documents. By providing an immutable record of when and by whom documents were signed, audit logs support compliance with regulatory standards, facilitate the detection of irregularities, and enhance overall trust in the workflow's security and management.
