-## Accessing Crew Logs
-
-You can see real time log of the crew execution, by setting `output_log_file` as a `True(Boolean)` or a `file_name(str)`. Supports logging of events as both `file_name.txt` and `file_name.json`.
-In case of `True(Boolean)` will save as `logs.txt`.
-
-In case of `output_log_file` is set as `False(Booelan)` or `None`, the logs will not be populated.

-```python Code
-# Save crew logs
-crew = Crew(output_log_file = True)  # Logs will be saved as logs.txt
-crew = Crew(output_log_file = file_name)  # Logs will be saved as file_name.txt
-crew = Crew(output_log_file = file_name.txt)  # Logs will be saved as file_name.txt

 ## Memory Utilization
 
 Crews can utilize memory (short-term, long-term, and entity memory) to enhance their execution and learning over time. This feature allows crews to store and recall execution memories, aiding in decision-making and task execution strategies.
