# Does Zoho Books have Audit Trail? How do I view the changes that were made to a transaction?

**Prerequisite:** You need to be an **Admin** in the organization to view the Audit Trail.

Zoho Books lets you view Audit Trail, through which you can find out how, when and who modified a transaction. To view the Audit Trail:

*   Go to the **Reports** module from the left sidebar.
    
*   Click **Activity** under the _Report Category_.
    
*   Now, click **Activity Logs & Audit Trail** report. In this page, you can view the activities taken place during a certain period.
    
*   Click **View Audit Trail** on the right side of the activity that you would like to check.

This will fetch the current version of the transaction along with a list of all the previous versions on the right.

**Note:** A new version of a transaction is created when changes are made to the transaction.

To find out what has changed between two versions of a transaction, you can choose to compare them. This can be done with ease:

*   Click **Compare** in the top right corner. 
*   Select any two versions of the transaction that you’d like to compare.
*   Click **Compare**.

Any field that was modified, added or deleted will be highlighted in yellow, green and red respectively.
