System Notes v2 captures detailed changes such as sublist information and groups the changes under high-level actions. The audit trail enables you to see the types of changes performed on record fields, such as create, update, change, and so on. You can also see when each change was made and by whom. System Notes v2 retains information for deleted transactions and records, whereas in existing System Notes the details of deleted transactions and records are lost.
System Notes v2 lists the most recent changes at the top of the page. To view details of the action, use the arrows in the Object column to expand the information.
