Why should you check the setup audit trail regularly?

Checking the setup audit trail regularly is crucial for tracking changes made in production. This feature provides a chronological record of changes that have occurred in your Salesforce environment, detailing what modifications were made, who made them, and when they occurred. This information is essential for maintaining the integrity and security of your Salesforce organization. It allows you to review configurations, understand the impact of changes on your system, and troubleshoot issues that may arise as a result of recent alterations. By consistently monitoring the setup audit trail, you can ensure that any significant modifications are documented and can be reviewed for compliance and operational continuity.

While reviewing user login activities, monitoring page views, and managing user permissions are important aspects of managing a Salesforce organization, they do not capture the comprehensive scope of changes to the system's setup and configuration, which is the primary function of the setup audit trail.
