    Hello, 

    As far as form closing goes, I don't think there is an event to capture the form close. 

    You can programattically close the form and then capture that timestamp. To close the form you can use https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/developer/model-driven-apps/clientapi/reference/formcontext-ui/close.

    As a workaround, you can add a setsumbitmode function to any field on the form and set the mode to always. If the user saves the form before closing it each time, then the set submit mode for the field will capture in audit history irrespective of the field being dirty or not. You just have to ensure the user does a save before form close. 

    Hope this helps.

    Best regards,

    Raj
