## What the overview shows

Each row records one change, with the following columns:

1. **Timestamp**: The exact moment the change was made.
2. **Action**: The kind of change (created, changed, deleted) and the type of data affected (for example an employee or a feedback).
3. **Affected**: The record that was changed, usually as a link to the employee or feedback the change was made on.
4. **Changes**: An overview of every data field that was modified.
5. **Operator**: The employee who made the change. When a change is made by the easyreview support team, "easyreview Team" appears as the operator.
