# View the workflow history

{% hint style="info" %}
User permission: Budgets & Forecasts
{% endhint %}

The progress and history of the workflow, including any comments that were added, are tracked and visible to all users. Seeing who has performed specific tasks saves time when you need to ask for further detail about an entry. The ability to view an audit trail in the budget or forecast is particularly important to budget owners.
