    Hi @Roger Roger ,

    Per my knowledge, there are two solutions:

    Solution1:
    You could go to Site settings > Site Collection Features and activate the "Reporting" feature. Then go to Site settings> "Audit log reports", and run a custom report according to your needs.

    Please refer to this article for more information:

    Solution2:
    Go to the compliance center and search the audit logs, please refer to this article:
