Tracking is Console's premium feature. It acts as an **assistant/advisor** that accompanies you while you make changes to your domain and monitors results during a defined time window.
## How does it work?
1. **Purchase a tracking plan** for a domain.
2. A **monitoring window** opens (e.g. 7, 14 or 30 days depending on the plan).
3. During that window, Console runs **automatic scans** periodically.
4. You receive **email alerts** when something changes (improves or worsens).
5. You can view **diffs** between scans to understand exactly what changed.
## Service model
We don't sell recurring subscriptions. Tracking is a **time‑bounded service**: you buy an accompaniment window. When the window ends, you keep read access to all generated reports and data, but automatic scans stop.
> **Tip:** use Tracking when you're about to make important DNS changes (migrating email provider, implementing DMARC reject, renewing SSL certificates, etc.).
