Hi, listening into the group discussions, I'm curious - how would you even know your old logs were deleted or edited, does the system notify you? I guess I've rarely gone back to read an old log. Less than a handful of times have I even edited a previous logs. Deleted one just once that I remember - after I figured out how to "combine" a visitation entry with a TB pickup or drop-off entry that I logged a few days later that resulted in two entries. Or maybe I just re-entered both as one, can't remember.
