Audit History for SharePoint
View Microsoft 365 audit history directly in SharePoint Online.
Audit History for SharePoint adds an Audit history menu item and command bar button to SharePoint, giving authorized users a direct path to view item-level audit history from Audit Vault for M365.
Item-level history
Check the audit history of a specific document, folder, or list item without leaving SharePoint.
User activity
Track user activity on individual SharePoint items to support investigations and governance.
Permission insight
Identify permission-related issues and unauthorized access in SharePoint Online.
Less portal friction
Reduce dependence on Microsoft Purview audit searches for routine item-level audit review.
Why this matters
In SharePoint Online there is no easy native way for a Site Collection Administrator, power user, or regular user to directly view the audit logs of a document, folder, or list item. Audit logs often have to be requested from a security or audit-level user who runs a report through Microsoft Purview.
Long-term history
Audit Vault for M365 preserves SharePoint audit history beyond Microsoft native retention limits and makes that history available through reports, advanced search, and the Audit History for SharePoint menu.
