Editor Logs
A persistent audit trail of every change made to your board — who did what and when.
What editor logs track
The editor log records all structural and property changes to the board:
- Add component — a new component was placed on the canvas
- Delete component — a component was removed
- Move — a component or group was repositioned
- Rotate — a component was rotated
- Rename — a component label was changed
- Property changes — any property value was modified (resistance, voltage, etc.)
- Wire connections — a wire was drawn or deleted between two pins
- Mirror operations — a component was flipped horizontally or vertically
How to open the logs
Click the Logs button in the editor toolbar (top bar). The log panel opens at the bottom of the canvas. It stays visible as you work and updates in real time.
Log entry anatomy
| Part | Description |
|---|---|
| Timestamp | Wall-clock time of the action (e.g., 14:23:07) |
| Action icon | Icon representing the action type (add, delete, move, etc.) |
| Message | Description including the component name and what changed |
| Details tooltip | Hover to see the before/after values for property changes |
Clicking a log entry selects and centers the affected component on the canvas.
Exporting logs
Click Export (↓) in the logs panel header to download the full log as a .txt file. The file includes the board name, export date, and all entries sorted oldest-first.
Owner-only settings
The ⚙️ settings button in the logs header is visible only to the board owner. Collaborators can view and export logs but cannot change what is recorded. See Editor Log Settings for details.
