Bringing Clarity to Complex Drupal Sites with the Audit Export module

Drupal sites accumulate content types, fields, roles, and menus over the years, often added by different teams at different times. When a redesign, migration, or new feature comes along, figuring out what's actually on the site is one of the hardest parts.

This talk walks through how Audit Export gives you a clear, repeatable view of a Drupal site's structure. You'll see how to run the built-in reports from the admin UI, schedule audits to run on cron, export results to CSV, and use Drush commands to work audits into your discovery and maintenance workflows.

The session also covers how to add custom reports for site-specific needs, and how the Audit Export Tool submodule exposes audit data through Drupal's Tool API for integration with external systems, including AI tools like ChatGPT and Claude.

Basic familiarity with Drupal administration or development is recommended. No prior experience with automation or AI tools is needed.
