How to see workflow log history

While creating the workflows, one of the activity used frequently is log workflow history activity. This will log the information into the workflow history list. This is one of the feasible option for tracing the workflow process or activities. If the workflow process is bit lengthy with lot of branches this is going to help you lot.

But how to see the log history, If you click the workflow status column (for eg:"completed"). It will just show only the latest log history of the workflow instance executed and tied to that particular item. We need to check separately for other items.

Many times We will be requiring the entire workflow history to troubleshoot if any problems during the issues. This stored in a list called "workflow History". But if you check the "view all site content option" of your site you can't see the workflow history list. It is because the workflow history list is hidden and it will not be visible in the "view all site content option".

Still we can see this list by directly typing the URL. The below URL is showing the workflow history list of my site,
