Hello Madhulika,
Field Tracking- We can select certain fields to track and display the field history in the History related list of an object. The field history data is retained for up to 18 months. Field history tracking can be done for both standards as well as custom objects.
Thanks.

Hi,
To add more -
You can track the field history of custom objects and the following standard objects.
Accounts
Articles
Assets
Campaigns
Cases
Contacts
Contracts
Contract line items
Entitlements
Leads
Opportunities
Orders
Order Products
Products
Service Contracts
Solutions
Modifying any of these fields adds an entry to the History related list. All entries include the date, time, nature of the change, and who made the change. Not all field types are available for historical trend reporting. Certain changes, such as case escalations, are always tracked.Hope this helps.

Hi Madhulika,
Tracking field in Salesforce allows you to report on the original and new values of a field. This functionality can be very useful when determining who changed a field value and when it happened. This built-in change tracking has some limits:
Only the following standard objects allow field history tracking:
- Accounts, Cases, Contacts, Entitlements, Service contracts, Contract line items, Contracts, Leads, Opportunities, and Solutions
- Only 20 fields may be tracked per object
- Not all field types can be tracked

With this method we can track the changes happens in the field.
First, we need to enable Enable feed for standard object enable for standard and custom object in Salesforce.
Thanks
