            Enable Access to History Objects for a Profile

            To view the history of changes related to an object (for example, to view the history of an account or a case), include the history list field in the object’s page layout, enable field-history tracking for the object, and define object-level and field-level permissions on profiles associated with your users.

            Note
            Note Before you begin, turn on field-history tracking for all objects and fields that you want to track. See Track Object Field History.

            History objects are system-generated records of change that help you track the field history of most custom and standard objects. When you modify a field on a supported object, Salesforce adds an entry to its history object. Access to history objects is controlled via access to the associated parent object.

            Set Up Permissions for the Parent Object

            1. From Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter Profiles, and then select Profiles.
            2. Select the profile that you want to modify.
            3. In Standard Object Permissions, find the object for which you are tracking history.
            4. Select the proper permissions for the object. At minimum, select the Read permission.
            5. In Field-Level Security, select the proper permissions for the fields that you want to track. At minimum, select the Read permission for each tracked field.
            6. Save your changes.

            Add the History List to the Page Layout

            1. From Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter Object Manager, and then select Object Manager.
            2. Select the object that you want to modify.
            3. Click Page Layouts.
            4. Click Related Lists.
            5. Drag the object’s history list to the Related Lists section. For example, if you're working with the case object, drag the case history list to the Related Lists section.
            6. Save your changes.

            Verify the Page Layout Assignment

            1. From Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter Profiles, and then select Profiles.

            6. In the Page Layout To Use field, select the page layout that includes the object’s History field in the Related Lists section.
            7. Save your changes.
