# Audit & Compliance - Overview

Audit & Compliance shows you whether each metadata component in your Salesforce orgs was last changed through a controlled Flosum DevOps deployment or directly in the Salesforce org, so you can find changes that bypassed your DevOps process. Each component's status is based only on the most recent audit, rather than a running history of every change made to that component. Audit & Compliance provides the following features:

* **Activities**: Review the history of audit runs for each organization, including when each audit ran, who initiated it, and whether it was automated or manually triggered.
* **Components**: Browse the metadata components retrieved in the latest audit, along with the status of each one as of that audit.
* **Component Statuses**: See whether a component was updated or deleted through Flosum DevOps (including the branch that made the change) or changed directly in Salesforce.
* **Automated Audits**: Audits run automatically every four hours for each assigned organization, and you can also run one manually at any time.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.flosum.com/audit-and-compliance/getting-started/audit-and-compliance-overview.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
