The "Workflow history" option provides the soft-copy of workflow activities related to a selected document, which is sufficient for your own audit trail record. However, when you need to present these workflow details in hard-copy as a legal proof outside SigningHub, use workflow evidence report. 

A Workflow Evidence Report entails the detailed logs of each SigningHub transaction performed within a document workflow. It is available to the respective document Owner only and is downloaded in PDF file. The PDF is also digitally signed by Ascertia with an invisible PAdES-B-LT signature, and can be used as a legal proof outside SigningHub .

So in case a recipient in the workflow repudiates their signature, or if there is any query related to the workflow, this report can resolve all such issues. However, viewing Workflow Evidence Report is subject to your assigned enterprise user role. If you are willing to use this provision, ask your Enterprise Admin to enable it in your Role>Document Settings.
