In Power Query, where are the changes made to data tracked?

In Power Query, changes made to data are tracked in what is known as the "Applied Steps." Each modification or transformation performed on the data, such as filtering, sorting, merging, or adding columns, is recorded sequentially in this area. This allows users to review and edit their transformations at any point in time during the query process.

The Applied Steps pane operates like a chronological log that represents the order of data transformations applied. Users can click on each step to see how it affects the data, enabling them to troubleshoot problems or adjust the query as needed without having to redo previous steps.

While the other options suggest tracking changes or maintaining history, they do not specifically refer to the structured way that Power Query logs transformations within the Applied Steps pane. This makes the concept of applied steps integral to the functionality and usability of Power Query for data manipulation.
