Which of the following describes the information typically logged in an audit trail?

• A. Login events only.
• B. User actions, field changes, timestamps, and lifecycle events for contracts.
• C. Only document changes.
• D. Only export events.

Answer: (B)

Keeping a complete, tamper-evident log of activity is the purpose of an audit trail. In DocuSign CLM, the information typically logged should show who performed each action, what exactly changed (including before and after values for fields), when the action occurred (timestamps), and how the contract moved through its lifecycle (lifecycle events such as created, routed, approved, executed, or archived). This full picture is essential because it provides accountability, supports security and regulatory compliance, and allows you to reconstruct the exact sequence of events for any contract. Limiting the log to login events or to only document changes misses critical context like approvals, state transitions, and other actions that affect the contract’s history. Having all these elements together enables precise auditing and dispute resolution, and helps ensure integrity across the contract lifecycle.
