 DESelect Segment maintains an **Audit Log** that records details about queries executed within the platform. This log provides transparency and helps users track query execution history.

:::hint{type="info"}
Queries running in Unaric Segment are executed independently and are not part of an Automation in SFMC. As a result, the standard SFMC Data Views (e.g., Automation Instances and Automation Activity Instances), do not capture Unaric Segment queries. You must rely on Unaric Segment's native Audit Logs to track this history.
