The History page is a full audit log of what’s happening in your tenant. Every data-source change, every token issuance or revocation, and every Power BI export request is recorded with the user, timestamp, and a summary of the change.
The three tabs #
- Data Sources History — every Create / Update / Delete / Clone / Transfer ownership on a data source.
- Access Tokens History — every Issued / Revoked / Expired event on an access token.
- Export History — every OData read request a token has made against your data sources.
Data Sources tab #
The default tab lists every data source action in reverse chronological order. Each row shows date, user, action, data source name, and a one-line summary of the changes.
Filter the list with the controls in the toolbar:
- Ownership — All, My data sources, or Shared with me.
- Date — start / end date filters.
- Search — match by data source name, ID, or URL.
Select a row to open a detail dialog with a structured before/after view of every field that changed, including added or removed services, objects, fields, and filter expressions.
Access Tokens tab #
The Access Tokens tab tracks the lifecycle of every personal access token: who issued it, when, with what label, when it expired or was revoked.
Export tab #
The Export tab records every OData request hitting a data source from a personal access token — typically Power BI refreshes. Use it to confirm whether a scheduled refresh actually fired, or to investigate which data source is being hit most often.
History is a read-only audit. Rows cannot be edited or deleted from the UI. Retention is governed by your tenant’s compliance settings.
