FCS Express has a comprehensive logging system that allows you to track every change made to any layout. Every time an action is performed in FCS Express, no matter what it is, this change is recorded.  A brief description of the change is shown in the overview box at the top of the Layout History Viewer and a detailed description of the currently selected item is shown at the bottom. 

This can be important for ensuring the integrity of your data analysis and for conforming with various governmental regulations such as 21 CFR Part 11.

You can see and print the history at any time, in the Layout History Viewer, by selecting View->Layout History from the main menu.

Once the Layout History window is opened, you can see a list of all of the changes ever made to that layout. For example, in the image below, you can see that Elvis Jones has changed the parameter of histogram #3 from the 1st to the 4th parameter.

Even the most detailed information is captured - for example, in the image below, the user named Sally Smith opened the same layout that Elvis Jones had created. She then made several changes to the layout: she duplicated an existing plot, created a marker on it, opened a statistics window, and then made formatting changes to the plot she had created. The details of the changes she made during the formatting include changing the scaling of the data from logarithmic to linear, changing the color of the overlay, changing the smoothing property, and changing which parameter was visible in the plot.
