Oneflow audit trail for Microsoft Word

The Version History & Audit Trail shows the Word document versions sent to Oneflow through the Oneflow add-in. Use it to see what changed, who made the change, and when each update occurred in the Word document.

What does “synced” mean?

A document is synced when you select Update in the Oneflow add-in to send the latest saved Word document to the existing Oneflow document.

Saving the document in Word or OneDrive alone does not sync the changes to Oneflow.

The first version in the audit trail records when the Oneflow document was created from Word.

Each subsequent successful and confirmed use of Update creates a new sync event and version.

BEFORE YOU START

Ensure that you:

View the audit trail

  1. In Oneflow, go to Documents and find the document created using the Word add-in.
  2. Select the Links icon on the document card.

  3. Under External, select Audit Trail: [document name]. The audit trail opens on a new page.
  4. Check the document details at the top of the page. You can open the Oneflow document or the Source document from its link.
  5. Review the version list. The newest version appears first and is marked Last synced

  6. Select a version with unresolved changes to expand it. 

  7. Review each change. Depending on the change, you can see:

    • whether text, a table, or an image was added, changed, or removed;
    • comments added in Word;
    • who made the change and when; and
    • the text before and after a text change.

INFORMATION

  • Only changes included in a successful Update appear. Unsynced Word edits are not included.
  • A version with no listed changes was synced successfully but contains no unresolved tracked changes.
  • The audit trail is read-only. You cannot edit the document or restore an earlier version from this page.
  • Compare versions is not available yet.
  • Access and edit events are tamper-evident and logged in UTC.
  • If the page does not load, try again. If the problem continues, see Troubleshooting (Microsoft 365) or contact Oneflow support.
