# Audit Trail Actions Are Past-Tense Verbs
URL: https://docs.autociso.io/release-notes/2026-10-audit-trail-action-verbs/
Description: Every Audit Trail entry now shows one past-tense verb as its action, with the record type in the Subject column, and filtering by a verb also finds older entries.

## One readable action per Audit Trail entry

**Plans:** Plans that include the Audit Trail (The Growth and above)
**Where:** **Audit Trail**, the **Evidence Log**, CSV and PDF exports, the API (`action.code`)

**Who benefits:** CTOs, IT managers and auditors who read the Audit Trail as evidence.

Actions used to be a mix of styles, such as `supplier.template.updated`, `evidence_uploaded` and `AI_ACCESS_*`. Every entry now shows a single past-tense verb (Created, Updated, Removed, Uploaded and so on), and the **Subject Type** column says which kind of record it applied to. New entries from all parts of the product are recorded this way, and older entries are displayed under the same verbs.

**How to use it**

1. Click **Audit Trail** and open the **Action** filter. It lists verbs only.
2. Pick a verb and click **Apply**. You also get older entries that were stored under a longer code. The API filter `filter[action][eq]=updated` behaves the same way.
3. Need the stored originals? The full audit trail export (a `.jsonl.gz` file) keeps the raw codes exactly as written.

Stored entries are not changed, so hash chain verification gives the same result as before. `action.group` is unchanged. See [Audit Trail Integrity and Accepted Link Breaks](https://docs.autociso.io/product/admin/audit-trail-integrity/).
