Notes

In Salesforce, History Tracking refers to the ability to track changes made to specific fields on an object over time. When History Tracking is enabled for an object and a field, Salesforce will automatically create a historical record each time the value of that field is changed. The historical record includes the old value, new value, and the user who made the change, as well as the date and time of the change.

History Tracking allows organizations to maintain a complete audit trail of changes made to important data over time. This can be particularly useful for compliance and regulatory purposes, as well as for analyzing trends and patterns in data. For example, an organization might use History Tracking to track changes made to customer records, orders, or inventory levels.

To enable History Tracking for an object and its fields, an administrator can navigate to the object's settings and select the fields to track. History Tracking can be enabled for up to 20 fields per object, and administrators can customize the number of historical records to keep. Once History Tracking is enabled, historical records can be viewed on the object's detail page, or through reports and dashboards.

In summary, History Tracking in Salesforce is a powerful feature that allows organizations to track changes made to important data over time, providing a complete audit trail of changes and helping to maintain data accuracy and compliance.
