How the Budgeting Change Log Works

Where to find the Change Log, what it shows, and how to use it to review budget updates across any channel.

The Change Log helps your team keep track of budget updates made in the Budgeting tool. Instead of guessing what changed, you can review recent activity, see who made the update, and compare the old value to the new one. It works the same way for every channel you manage.

This guide walks through where to find the Change Log and how to use it. For the full tool, see How to Use the Budgeting Tool.

Quick Links

How to Find the Change Log

  1. Log in to BuyerBridge.
  2. In the left menu, under Organization, click Budgeting.
  3. At the top, use the channel buttons to choose the channel you want.
  4. Click the Change Log tab.

From there, you can review recent budget activity across that channel's accounts and campaigns.

What the Change Log Shows

The Change Log gives you a running record of budget updates. It includes:

  • When the change happened
  • Which account was updated
  • Whether the change was made at the account or campaign level
  • The name of the item that changed
  • Which user or system made the update
  • What action was taken
  • The previous value and the new value

This gives your team a clearer way to review recent budget activity without piecing it together by hand.

Breaking Down the Change Log Page

When you open the Change Log, you will see a table of recent updates. At the top, use the filters to narrow your view. Depending on your setup, you can filter by account, action, type, name, or date range.

The table shows the main details for each update:

  • Date, when the change happened
  • Account, which client or account was affected
  • Type, whether the change was at the account or campaign level
  • Name, the item that changed
  • User, whether a team member or BuyerBridge made the update
  • Action, what kind of update was made
  • Change, the previous value compared to the new value

This view helps your team quickly understand what changed and when.

Why the Change Log Matters

The Change Log gives your team a simple way to review budget updates and stay aligned. It is especially helpful when:

  • Multiple people are managing budgets
  • You want to confirm that a change was made
  • You want to review auto-pacing activity
  • You need a clearer record of recent budget updates

Instead of relying on memory or back-and-forth messages, your team can see a shared history of updates in one place.

Best Practices

  1. Review it regularly when budgets are being updated often.
  2. Use filters to narrow your view faster.
  3. Check the user and action columns when reviewing recent changes.
  4. Compare the old and new values before making follow-up updates.
  5. Use the Change Log alongside the Budgeting tool when reviewing pacing and budget activity.
