How can a System Administrator audit changes made to a Smartsheet?

The Activity Log in Smartsheet serves as a comprehensive tool for tracking changes made within a sheet. It provides a detailed history of actions taken, including who made changes, what changes were made, and when these changes occurred. This feature is particularly useful for System Administrators who need to monitor modifications to ensure compliance with organizational policies or to troubleshoot issues. By leveraging the Activity Log, a System Administrator can effectively audit changes, enabling them to maintain oversight of data integrity and user actions directly through the platform, rather than relying on external methods or manual processes.

Other methods, like reviewing user emails, conducting manual checks, or disabling permissions temporarily, lack the specificity and efficiency of the Activity Log for auditing purposes. These options may introduce potential errors or additional time-consuming efforts that could be avoided by utilizing the built-in capabilities of Smartsheet.
