If you’ve ever needed to determine which system administrator made a particular problematic change to a solution, until now the process was time-consuming – restoring a backup from the date the problem occurred and querying the database.  In Microsoft Dynamics 365, an out of the box feature to capture the changes on records by the Users or System is achieved by enabling the “Audit” for an entity but there is no out of the box feature to track the changes done by System Administrators/System Customizers or anyone having access to make a change in the application.

No more!  Microsoft Labs”has released a “Change Tracking” solution to find such information easier; check it out! The solution for Dynamics 365 (version 8.2) Online or Dynamics CRM 2016 (version 8.1), Online with documentation, is available via administrators as well as user guides are available for download via:
