View workflow operation history
In eTMF, once a workflow is created, you can perform certain actions with the workflow—edit or activate and activate. The Operation History functionality assists you in analyzing the details of all previous actions performed on a particular workflow, facilitating traceability and enhancing compliance with regulatory requirements.
For instance, you see that files in a folder can be deleted without any restrictions. You can go to Operation History of the workflow associated with that folder and check who made changes that led to this system behavior.

A workflow can be considered an instrument to help control various actions on system entities for the sake of accountability, as it limits the actions that can be performed on the entity associated with a workflow. This provides an additional tier of scrutiny, and the approval/rejection mechanism reduces the risk of unintended impact on sensitive resources and important information.
