How to See Who Made Changes in Your Amazon Ads Account

Finding and reading the change history report

Sign in to the Amazon Advertising Console and open the account or campaign view you need to review. Look for the change history option and narrow the results by date range, campaign, or user if those filters are available. The report typically shows the editor name, a timestamp, and the item that was changed.

• Filter by the shortest useful date range to reduce noise.
• Look for editor names rather than generic account actions.
• Compare the timestamp with performance changes in the same period.

When multiple users have account access

Shared accounts make the editor name field especially important. If you work with freelancers, agencies, or internal team members, the built-in report can tell you who changed a bid, budget, placement, or keyword. It does not always explain why the change was made, so you may need a short note or review step outside Amazon for that context.

A tool like Amz Ad Waste Detector adds an audit trail with detailed decision logs and a review workflow, which can help teams stay accountable without relying on memory.

When this matters

Audit trails become critical when you manage high-spend accounts, run frequent promotions, or hand off campaign management between people. Instead of guessing whether a bid was changed before or after a performance drop, you can look at the record and confirm the sequence. This is also useful during weekly reviews or agency check-ins, where a quick review of recent edits can replace longer back-and-forth conversations.
