Overview
Update History Panel keeps an audit-friendly log of updates performed via the WordPress admin update workflows:
- WordPress Core
- Themes
- Plugins
The log is shown as a panel on the Dashboard → Updates screen and can also be retrieved via the REST API:
GET /wp-json/update-history-panel/v1/logs
For security reasons, the endpoint requires an authenticated user with the update_core capability by default.
