The Change Log tab lists all changes that have been made to the selected published assessment. After you publish an assessment, IDERA SQL Secure begins tracking any change that has been made to the assessment's settings. These changes may include the addition or removal of audited instances as well modifications to the security checks to be performed by the assessment.
The change log gives you an electronic, "paper trail" that documents exactly how a published assessment is being processed during an internal or external audit review.

In the Change Log tab you have the following available actions:
