Evidence

+In AWS Control Tower releases before landing zone version 3.0, AWS Control Tower created a member account trail. When you update to release 3.0, your CloudTrail trail is updated to become an organization trail. For best practices when moving between trails, see [Creating an organizational trail](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/awscloudtrail/latest/userguide/creating-trail-organization.html#creating-an-organizational-trail-best-practice) in the CloudTrail User Guide.
