The following information is included in each event recorded by the audit log:

2. Event: This is the event captured. 

3. Date: This is the date the event occurred

By default, all events are shown in reverse chronological order. You can filter by each category of event information by using the filter buttons at the top.

Events are split into four main categories:

1. Page events: This includes events users take on a single Notion page.

2. Teamspace events: This includes events users take on one or more teamspaces.
