# Audits

WriteBack Extreme keeps an audit trail of changes for visibility and compliance. There are two audit types: **Schema Audits** (changes coming from the Tableau extension) and **System Audits** (changes made in the Management Console).

### Schema Audits (Tableau Extension)

Schema audits capture changes created via the Tableau extension. By default, schema audits are stored in the **repository database**. 

Schema Audits can be accessed from either the general Audits page in the main menu or on the audits tab of the schema edit page.

### Remotely Access audits

From version 6.0 it is possible to move audit data of schemas to a **connection database** which enables the ability to query them directly from your tableau dashboard. Go to the general Audits page (accessible from the main menu) and click the \`Audit data locations\` link in the blue box to open the page where you can move the audit data.

### System Audits (Management Console)

System audits track changes performed inside the Management Console (e.g., users, groups, schemas, connections, semantic models).
