  Audit log
=========

 An audit log is an append-only record of who did what in a system and when.

For a case file the log matters most when something goes wrong: a document is missing, an export went to the wrong recipient, a deletion is disputed.

The property that makes a log worth having is that it cannot be edited by the people it records. A log a user can rewrite answers no question at all.
