Backend action logs serve as a powerful tool for debugging and rolling back specific changes manually rather than restoring a site based on a backup losing desired updates in the process. The Admin Log extension also logs changes such as when an admin account updates a product or changes configurations. Using the extension you can discover what was changed. |
Manage your admin users
|
Our extension provides a detailed admin log history and advanced setting to save or remove history logs. Besides the general grid, the store manager can view detailed information for each admin action performed by the admin user. |

Track Admin Performance
Manual Delete admin logs |
Track the admin actions for each individual store administrator to measure admin performance by seeing what changes each is making to the site to help measure the effect their changes have. Admin Performance directly affects a store's conversion rate and sales. Our admin action logger takes the guesswork out of what changes were made and by whom. Having the action log information on hand is essential when deciding if you should ban or unban specific admins. |
