Deactivate Auditing
Updated this week

Auditing lets you activate additional SharePoint auditing events to improve the results of your Audit Report. If you don't need one or multiple events to be audited anymore, the feature can be deactivated at any time through the Explore screen.

Prerequisite(s)

Note: Site collection admin permissions are required even if you have higher admin privileges like Farm admin permissions. For more information, see Microsoft administrative permissions.

Tip: To manage all your site collections, you can connect to your SharePoint central admin with Farm admin permissions.
