Website Change Log

A website change log is a dated record of updates made to a site, such as content edits, plugin upgrades, configuration changes, or new features. It may note who made the change and why. If a handyman website's contact form stops sending messages, the log can help a technician identify recent changes worth checking. A change log is different from a backup: one documents work, while the other may help restore earlier data or files. Keeping records can improve troubleshooting and accountability, but it does not prevent errors. Logs should be detailed enough to be useful without exposing sensitive account information.
