What are audit logs?
Audit logs allow users to view, filter, and export logs of all user activity to monitor data security. Users can access their audit logs by clicking Audit Log in the left sidebar menu. From here, users can download audit logs or filter them by Users, Activity, and Date.

The audit log page displays all auditable actions in one place. You can filter the audit log by:
- Users: Filter by user to view all actions taken by specific individuals.
- Activity: Filter by specific actions such as adding or downloading files.
- Date: Filter to view actions that took place within a specific date range.

Remove user information from audit logs
You can remove information that could be used to identify individuals from your audit logs, and delete audit log records as needed. Deleting an audit log entry removes potentially sensitive user information but retains information about what actions were taken and when.
When you delete an activity from the audit log, that user data is permanently removed and can’t be restored.
To remove user information from audit logs:
- Login to docsend.com.
- Click Audit Log in the left sidebar menu.
- Click ☑ (more options) next to the log you want to delete.
- Click Delete.
