Platform · Audit trail

Traceable history for compliance decisions and authorship.

Auditors ask who decided what, and when. Lawcel builds that evidence as work happens - not in a spreadsheet reconstructed after the fact.

What the audit trail captures

Case event timeline

Signals received, comments, status changes, signal unlinks, and applied patches append to a unified case timeline in chronological order.

Authorship snapshots

User comments capture name and job title at write time. Renames later do not rewrite history - the trail shows who acted when.

Document revision history

Every document edit creates a version with creator attribution and content diffs - including changes applied from approved case patches.

Profile version history

Legal profile updates are versioned with timestamps and creator attribution so classification context is traceable over time.

Team management records

Invites, role changes, and member removal are visible in team settings - supporting access-control reviews alongside case and document history.

Connection logs

Super admins can inspect job queue history: webhook processing, failures, retries, and execution details for operational forensics.

In practice

Evidence collected by default

Lawcel does not require a separate logging product for core compliance workflows. Timelines, versions, and snapshots accrue as teams use cases, documents, and integrations normally.

Encourage legal and admin users to set job titles in profile settings - snapshots include titles when present for stronger audit readability.

Work in cases

Discussion, patch approval, and resolution all append timeline events automatically. No manual log entry required.

Publish with confidence

Document revisions show who published what version, complementing public hosting and embed distribution.

Answer auditor questions

Use case timelines and document version history in the product when customers or regulators ask how compliance decisions were made.

FAQ

Case timeline events and document revisions are append-only in normal use. Cases can be deleted when your permissions allow it, but routine workflow history on active cases is preserved.
Connection logs are restricted to super_admin role. Admins and legal users see case and document audit surfaces relevant to their permissions.
Connection logs capture job execution metadata and errors. Full webhook payload retention follows operational needs documented in security materials.
When set, job titles are snapshotted on comments as "Name, Title". Legal and admin users see a soft prompt to add titles for stronger audit readability.
