# Viewing the Audit Logs of a Model

## Overview

Audit logs are a model-by-model running **history of who has made what edits (and when)** to a model's variables, dimensions, visuals, or data.

They give **model admins** oversight when sharing edit access to the model with other team members, and comfort in knowing they are always in the loop with recent changes that have been made by others.
