      Important

      If you share a record with another user, and if that user has View Audit History permissions on the shared record, the other user will be able to view the changes to the shared record.

Note

If auditing is stopped and restarted at the organization, entity, or field level, any new values prior to stopping the audit will not be used in an audit log or audit history. For example, two days ago the value in the Rating field is Cold when auditing is stopped. Auditing was started today. During the two days without auditing, the value for the field changed from Cold to Warm to Hot. When restarting the audit, the audit history has Cold (the value when the auditing stopped), although the New Values column has a symbol to show you that auditing had been disrupted.
