## Audit the history of attachments

You can now execute queries against the `AUDIT_LOG` table to track history data for attachments. To enable history for attachments, set the `AUDIT_ATTACHMENTS` site parameter to 'Y'.

## Access the most up-to-date ALM online help

When clicking context-sensitive help, ALM now links directly to the online ALM Help Center. This enables you to use the most recent version available of the ALM online help.

If your organization has firewall restrictions that prevent you from using the online Help Center, you can download and deploy the Help Center on your local server.
