Here to monitor CheckList!A1:H4 and copy CheckList!J3:N5 to Evaluation empty row of Column A entirely:

Private Sub Workbook_SheetChange(ByVal Sh As Object, ByVal target As Range)
    If Sh.Name = "CheckList" Then
          'Monitoring from CheckList!A1:H4, if different change this

          If Not Intersect(target, Range("CheckList!A1:H4")) Is Nothing Then
             Test target 'Here procedure to insert
          End If
    End If
End Sub


Private Sub Test(target As Range)
    Dim LastRow As Long

    Dim myCol As Long
    Dim myRow As Long
    myCol = target.Column

    If myCol >= 1 And myCol <= 8 Then
    If Range("Evaluation!A1") = "" Then Range("Evaluation!A1") = "History"
    If Range("Evaluation!A2") = "" Then Range("Evaluation!A2") = "Date"
        LastRow = Range("Evaluation!A" & Sheets("Evaluation").Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row

        'In this situation, all J3 to N5 will be copied
        'if different, please modify as actual range
        Dim myRange As Range
        Set myRange = Range("CheckList!J3:N5")
        For a = 1 To myRange.Rows.Count
            LastRow = LastRow + 1
            Range("Evaluation!A" & LastRow).Value = Format(Now, "dd.mm.yyyy hh:mm")
            Range("Evaluation!B" & LastRow & ":F" & LastRow).Value = myRange.Rows(a).Value
        Next a
    End If
End Sub

Answer 2

You must have general module (not object module), if no, insert new module, and put this:

Public myLastRow As Long
Public myTarget As Long

Public Function CheckMe(target As Long)
    CheckMe = ""
    Range("Evaluation!A:F").UnMerge
    LastRow = Range("Evaluation!A" & Sheets("Evaluation").Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
    If Range("Evaluation!A1").Value <> "" Then
       LastRow = LastRow + 1
    End If
    myLastRow = LastRow
    myTarget = target
End Function

Call the function in cell G3 by formula:

=LEFT(A3&B3&C3&D3&E3&F3&CheckMe(ROW(A3)),0)

Copy Cell G3 to G4:G1000 (or as your last possible row)

Last, in ThisWorkBook Module as we use before, clear all code, and add this code:

Private Sub Workbook_SheetCalculate(ByVal Sh As Object)
    If myTarget < 3 Then Exit Sub
    Range("Evaluation!A:F").UnMerge

    Range("Evaluation!A" & myLastRow).Value = Format(Now, "dd.mm.yyyy hh:mm") 'you can change this
    Range("Evaluation!B" & myLastRow & ":F" & myLastRow).Value = Range("Checklist!A" & myTarget & ":E" & myTarget).Value
    myLastRow = 0
    myTarget = 0
End Sub

And do test

Answer 3

Here the code you need

Private Sub Workbook_SheetChange(ByVal Sh As Object, ByVal target As Range)
    If Sh.Name = "checklist" Then
          If Not Intersect(target, Range("BH400:BL500")) Is Nothing Then
             Cells(target.Row, 1) = Format(Now, "DD/MM/YYYY  hh:mm")
             Test target
          End If
    End If
End Sub

Private Sub Test(target As Range)
    Dim LastRow As Long

    LastRow = Range("evaluation!A" & Sheets("evaluation").Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row

    If Range("evaluation!A1").Value <> "" Then
       LastRow = LastRow + 1
    End If
    Range("evaluation!A" +LastRow).Value = "=NOW()"
    Range("evaluation!B" +LastRow).Value = Range("CheckList!B" & Target.row)
    Range("evaluation!C" +LastRow).Value= "1"
    Range("evaluation!D" +LastRow).Value= Range("CheckList!D" & Target.row)
End Sub

Update as your google sheet

Private Sub Workbook_SheetChange(ByVal Sh As Object, ByVal target As Range)
    If Sh.Name = "CheckList" Then
          'Monitoring from A3:E100, if different change this
          If Not Intersect(target, Range("A3:E100")) Is Nothing Then
             'if any monitoring here, please you add here
             Test target 'Here procedure to insert
          End If
    End If
End Sub


Private Sub Test(target As Range)
    Dim LastRow As Long

    LastRow = Range("Evaluation!A" & Sheets("Evaluation").Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row

    If Range("Evaluation!A1").Value <> "" Then
       LastRow = LastRow + 1
    End If
    'every change A3:E in checklist will insert row to this evaluation
    'but if different please you decide here
    Range("Evaluation!A" & LastRow).Value = Format(Now, "dd.mm.yyyy hh:mm") 'you can change this
    Range("Evaluation!B" & LastRow & ":F" & LastRow).Value = Range("CheckList!A" & target.Row & ":E" & target.Row).Value
End Sub

Next Update

Private Sub Workbook_SheetChange(ByVal Sh As Object, ByVal target As Range)
    If Sh.Name = "CheckList" Then
          'Monitoring from A3:E100, if different change this
          If Not Intersect(target, Range("A3:E100")) Is Nothing Then
             'if any monitoring here, please you add here
             Test target 'Here procedure to insert
          End If
          If Not Intersect(target, Range("G3:K100")) Is Nothing Then
             'if any monitoring here, please you add here
             Test target 'Here procedure to insert
          End If
    End If
End Sub


Private Sub Test(target As Range)
    Dim LastRow As Long

    Dim myCol As Long
    myCol = target.Column

    If myCol >= 1 And myCol <= 5 Then
        LastRow = Range("Evaluation!A" & Sheets("Evaluation").Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row

        If Range("Evaluation!A1").Value <> "" Then
           LastRow = LastRow + 1
        End If
        'every change A3:E in checklist will insert row to this evaluation
        'but if different please you decide here
        Range("Evaluation!A" & LastRow).Value = Format(Now, "dd.mm.yyyy hh:mm") 'you can change this
        Range("Evaluation!B" & LastRow & ":F" & LastRow).Value = Range("CheckList!A" & target.Row & ":E" & target.Row).Value
    End If
    If myCol >= 7 And myCol <= 11 Then
        LastRow = Range("Evaluation!H" & Sheets("Evaluation").Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row

        If Range("Evaluation!H1").Value <> "" Then
           LastRow = LastRow + 1
        End If
        'every change A3:E in checklist will insert row to this evaluation
        'but if different please you decide here
        Range("Evaluation!H" & LastRow).Value = Format(Now, "dd.mm.yyyy hh:mm") 'you can change this
        Range("Evaluation!I" & LastRow & ":M" & LastRow).Value = Range("CheckList!G" & target.Row & ":K" & target.Row).Value
    End If
End Sub
