New Audit Resources for Microsoft Project

Microsoft's audit resources help track types of operations performed by your Microsoft 365 services, allowing better control of the most common activities in your environment. Users in your organization can use the audit log search tool to search, display and export (for a CSV file) audit records of these operations.

Thousands of user and administrator operations executed in Microsoft 365 solutions are captured, registered and retained in your organization's unified audit log. These resources are also available for activities in Project for the Web, Planner and Microsoft To Do, enabling organizations to quickly identify data risks and manage regulatory compliance requirements associated with events in these services.
