Audit log
Track all changes to donations, recurring plans, and supporters across your organization.
The Audit log records every action in your Fundraise Up account. It shows you what changed, who made the change (or if it happened automatically), and when it happened.
Use the Audit log when you need to:
- See what happened to a specific donation or recurring plan.
- Verify that a team member made a change correctly.
- Trace the sequence of events that led to an issue.
- Analyze cancellation patterns to improve supporter retention.
- Confirm when and how supporter information was modified.
- Meet compliance requirements by documenting who accessed or modified data.
Go to Settings > Audit log to view it.

The Audit log is visible to users with these roles:

If you manage subaccounts, you can view the Audit log for all of them.

A record of the actions made by a staff member
The timestamp shows in your account's default timezone. Hover over it to see the time in your computer's timezone.
Some staff actions show a Shadow badge next to the person's name. This badge indicates that the staff member used shadow login to access the supporter's Donor Portal.
Shadow login is a troubleshooting tool that lets staff access a supporter's Donor Portal without needing their login credentials. This helps you test changes or resolve issues that supporters report.
Staff with Organization Administrator, Campaign Administrator, or Support Specialist roles can use shadow login to access a supporter's Donor Portal. To access it, go to the Supporters page, select a supporter, and click Open Donor Portal.
When you access someone's portal this way, you can do everything they can do, except increase recurring donation amounts with the Give more button.
