72.2.4.2 Enable Session Logs

What are "Session Logs"?

The Session Logs is a feature that allows to record and track all operations performed by users during their session¹ in the Media Library, using a separate log database to store all recorded information.
Sessions are intended since the user presses the [ML_HowTo_LogDatabase_03 Edit] button until the user closes the Media Library or open another asset.
The recording of session logs covers all changes performed to the asset data including general data, properties, EDL, etc.
