Change history allows you to configure and track changes to objects and specific fields in Adobe Workfront. The flexible configuration lets you set up which exactly which objects and fields you want to track.

Change history can track the following types of data that you define:

  • Activity in the Setup area such as creating or deleting an access level or a job role
  • Field-level updates such as editing a project description or changing a user’s layout template
  • Object updates such as updating a project status or attaching a custom form to a task
  • Unified review and approval workflow activity, including participants and decisions

For information about defining which objects and fields are tracked, see Configure fields to track in change history.

On the Change History List, you can view the log of changes to Workfront objects, including attributes such as:

  • Object name
  • Object type
  • Type of change (operation)
  • Date and time of the change
  • Source of the change, such as specific users, APIs, Workfront Fusion, AI LLMs, or the Workfront system
