# What is the activity audit log?

Activity audit logs provide a simple, powerful interface for Workato administrators to comprehensively track changes in their accounts. These changes include user activity such as logins and invitations, recipe modifications and events, and more.

# How can I use activity audit logs?

Using activity audit logs, you can quickly identify changes made in your account and analyze their impact.

For example: Imagine there was an unplanned stoppage of a business-critical recipe that onboards new employees. Using Activity audit logs, you can identify when the recipe was stopped and the user that stopped it.
