# Assistants Log
### Overview
The **Assistants Log** in MangoApps allows admins to track all actions performed by assistants on behalf of executives. This log records detailed information about assistant activities such as creating posts, updates, and any edits or deletions made on behalf of the executive.
By default, the Assistants Log displays the most recent entries first. Admins can export the log for further analysis, ensuring complete transparency in the actions performed by assistants.

Assistants Logs are captured **only if** the **Allow specific users to have assistants** (**Admin Portal > Domain > Assistants**) option has been enabled for your domain, and an assistant for a user has been added.
{% endhint %}
