¿Qué significa Audit Trail en redes sociales?
Última actualización: 11 de enero de 2026
Definición rápida
An audit trail is a record of who changed what, when, and why—across drafts, approvals, and publishing actions.
For agencies and teams managing multiple client accounts, an audit trail is a safety net. It helps explain changes, resolve disputes, meet compliance needs, and reduce risk when multiple people collaborate on scheduling, editing, and approvals.

Por qué importa
- Creates accountability in multi-user workflows.
- Helps debug “what happened” when posts go wrong.
- Supports compliance and client trust.
Ejemplo
A client asks why a caption changed before publishing. The team checks the audit trail and sees the copywriter updated the CTA, then the account manager approved the revision at 3:12 PM.
Checklist
- Record edits to captions, media, links, and publish times.
- Record approvals (who approved, status, timestamp).
- Keep logs immutable (or protected) for a defined retention period.
- Make logs searchable by client, user, and date.
Métricas recomendadas
- Incidents resolved using logs (count).
- Average time to identify the cause of a publishing issue.
- Number of approval disputes per quarter.
Errores comunes
- Logs exist but are hard to search.
- No retention policy (either too short or unnecessarily long).
- Only tracking publish events, not edits and approvals.
Preguntas frecuentes sobre Audit Trail
Do agencies need audit trails for social media management?
If multiple people can edit content or publish across multiple client accounts, audit trails are strongly recommended to reduce risk and increase accountability.
What should be included in an audit trail for social posts?
Edits to copy/media, link changes, scheduling changes, approval events, publishing events, and who performed each action with timestamps.
How long should you keep social media audit logs?
It depends on client and compliance needs, but many teams keep 90–365 days. High-compliance industries may need longer retention.
