- Changes made before the feature is enabled will not be captured. Change Audit Report will only display the logs for changes performed from the point the tool was enabled onwards. Change logs from before the feature's enablement will not be auditable.
- The job "Enable Change Audit Log Job" is triggered when feature is enabled.
- Change Audit feature controls options Create Configuration Data Report and Create Business Data Report.
