Finding the Card History is simple and intuitive:

Every action is timestamped and shows who made the update, giving you a clear and reliable record at a glance.

Why It Matters

  • Improved Communication: No need for endless back-and-forth questions; everyone stays aligned.
  • Efficiency: Save time by accessing a clear, consolidated record of changes.
  • Trust and Accountability: Build a transparent work environment where actions are traceable.
