Before version **8.0**, the only way to preserve traceability was to move a task to "ignored" instead of deleting it. Now Jestor has a native per-table **audit log**, with a real deletion option that doesn't lose the history.

## What is the per-table audit log, and why does it exist?

The audit log records **who changed what and when** — creation, editing, and deletion — right in the table view, with no need to navigate to a separate admin area.

| Option      | Effect on the record                      | Audit trail                  |
| ----------- | ----------------------------------------- | ---------------------------- |
| **Ignored** | Archived, disappears from the active list | Fully preserved              |
| **Deleted** | Actually removed                          | Stays in the log, separately |

## How to check history and delete tasks in Jestor

- **Filter by action type:** creation, update, or deletion.
- **Filter by author:** user, automation, or API call.
- **Filter by date:** today, yesterday, or a custom period.
- **Real deletion:** available from the three-dot menu, alongside the option to just ignore.

**How to configure it in Jestor:** open the history view right inside the table itself and apply the action type, author, and date filters — without leaving the screen.

## Why choose Jestor for this kind of audit?

The key differentiator is having the **log accessible directly on the table**, with no need to navigate to a separate area, plus export for external audits when needed. This is especially useful on tables with multiple users changing data simultaneously.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How do I know who changed a specific field in Jestor?** The history shows who made the change, when, and whether it was manual, via automation, or via API.

**What happens to the history if I delete a task?** The audit record remains available separately, even after deletion.

**What changed in version 8.0 regarding deleting tasks?** Before, you could only ignore (archive); now real deletion is also available.
