# Track Data Changes in Backup & Recover for Salesforce

Start a Data Changes Tracker job to visualize Salesforce data changes captured in real time. See the number of record additions, changes, and deletions for all Salesforce objects or specific objects. Depending on the time range you specify, you can see how many changes occurred over minutes, hours, or days.

1. Go to the Data Changes Tracker tab.
    
    ![Note](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-platform-own_from_salesforce-264-0-0-production-enus/8ac98673-ede2-4046-a41e-2d5c846f24ff/images/icon_note.png)
    
    Note The tab is available only if you have Continuous Data Protection (CDP) services.
2. Select the CDP Service to track changes on. Only CDP services are displayed.
3. Set the Date and Time Range:
    
    1. Start Date and Time: Defaults to minus a month plus 30 minutes.
    2. End Date and Time: Default to minus a month plus 60 minutes.
    
    Chart Granularity Based on Time Range:
    
    - Up to 6 hours: Displays changes in minutes.
    - 6 to 48 hours: Displays changes in hours.
    - Over 48 hours: Displays changes in days.
4. Select Objects to track:
    
    - All Objects
    - Specific Objects
5. Enter the User ID.
6. Click **Create**.
    
    A Data Changes Tracker job is run and you are redirected to the Jobs tab. Once the job is completed, an email is sent to the job requester.
    
    After your job finishes running, the results appear as an interactive bar chart based on your filters.
    
    - X-axis: Time
    - Y-axis: Number of change events
    
    Event Types Tracked:
    
    - Deleted: All the deleted events captured.
    - Changed: All the updates events captured.
    - Added: All the insert events captured.
    - Added and Changed: All the changes captured by Rest APIs.
7. Click to filter: Click an event type, for example Deleted, in the chart legend to toggle its visibility.
