Imagine your office as a large library where every action, like borrowing a book or rearranging a shelf, is recorded in a logbook. This logbook helps the library staff keep track of what’s happening and ensures everything runs smoothly. Similarly, in the digital world, Microsoft 365 has a feature called Purview Audit that acts like this logbook for your organization's cloud activities.

When administrators perform actions such as enabling a Cloud Update or tweaking its settings, these activities are recorded in what we call Audit logs. These logs are stored in Microsoft Purview Audit, a part of the Microsoft 365 suite, and are accessible to users with the appropriate permissions, known as Microsoft Purview Audit Standard Users.

Think of these users as librarians who have the keys to the logbook. They can open it to review and ensure that all cloud activities are compliant with the organization's policies. This is particularly useful for maintaining transparency and accountability, much like how a library logbook helps in keeping track of all book transactions.

In practical terms, this means that any changes made to the Cloud Update service are documented, and these records can be accessed and reviewed by those with the right access, ensuring that your digital environment remains secure and well-managed. This system is available globally for organizations using Microsoft 365, providing a consistent way to monitor and audit cloud activities across different regions and platforms.
