The Product History tab provides a complete audit trail of all changes made to product attributes. This is valuable for:
Compliance and auditing: Track who changed pricing, costs, or product specifications.
Troubleshooting: Identify when inventory settings were modified.
Team accountability: Monitor which users made specific changes.
Quality control: Review changes to product dimensions, weights, or hazardous goods classifications.
The history is automatically recorded whenever any tracked product field is modified.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why don't I see any history records for my product?
History records are only created when product fields are modified after the history feature was enabled. Pre-existing products won't have historical data from before this feature was activated.
Can I see who created the product originally?
The history tab tracks changes to existing products. For creation details, refer to the product's "Created By" and "Created Date" fields in the Details tab.
How long is history data retained?
The system retains the 1,000 most recent change records per product. Older records are archived.
Can I filter history by date range?
Use the search functionality to filter by date. You can also export to CSV and use Excel or similar tools for advanced filtering.
