4. The sample app contains a model (as following) inherited from SamModel and the SamModel is set to maintain all the update logs automatically

from django.db import models
from sam_djtools.admin_models import SamModel

class ModelWithUpdateLog(SamModel):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=100)

    def __str__(self):
        return self.name

and an admin as

from django.contrib import admin
from sam_djtools.admin_models import SamAdmin
from .models import ModelWithUpdateLog

class ModelUpdateLogAdmin(SamAdmin):
    pass

admin.site.register(ModelWithUpdateLog, ModelUpdateLogAdmin)

This admin will show all record update logs in form because we have set

ADMIN_UPDATE_LOGS = True

in settings.py

Open following url in your browser and login with given username admin@localhost and password 123 http://localhost:8000/admin/sample_app/modelwithupdatelog/1/change/ to explore the update logs and navigation feature
