Your document management glossary

An audit trail is a complete, time-stamped log of all actions taken on a document, including edits, approvals, comments, and user activity. In aviation, maintaining a detailed audit trail is essential for transparency, accountability, and regulatory compliance.

Audit trails help organizations demonstrate due diligence and provide clear evidence during audits or investigations. Web Manuals automatically tracks every change in the system, including who made the change, when it was made, and why — ensuring full traceability throughout the document lifecycle.
