User Permissions Needed
To view audit trail history:	View Setup and Configuration

From Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter View Setup Audit Trail, and then select View Setup Audit Trail.
The history shows the 20 most recent setup changes made to your org. It lists the date of the change, who made it, and what the change was.

If a delegate such as an admin or customer support representative makes a setup change on behalf of an end user, the Delegate User column shows the delegate’s username. For example, if a user grants login access to an admin and the admin makes a setup change, the admin’s username is listed in the Delegate User column. The user granting access is listed in the User column.

If an admin makes a change using an AI agent via Setup with Agentforce (Beta), the agent’s name and ID are listed in the AI Agent column. The admin using the agent is listed in the User column.
To download your org’s complete setup history for the past 180 days, click Download.

After 180 days, setup entity records are deleted.
