is there a way to see which user last saved a project? or when changes were last pushed to a project? does Ignition keep track of that or is that something we have to build?

If you enable auditing in your project's properties, we'll store events to the audit log whenever changes are made to the project, and a reference for what changed:  
[https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/Project+Properties#ProjectProperties-GeneralProperties](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/Project+Properties#ProjectProperties-GeneralProperties)

You could also scan the filesystem (don't do this, it's slow) or interrogate the in-memory representation of your projects (you can do this, but be careful), either via scripting against internal APIs directly or via a module such as [Ignition Extensions](https://github.com/IgnitionModuleDevelopmentCommunity/ignition-extensions) that provides access to the project state.

okay. i see the `audit` profile there. i presume we can have multiple profiles; one for each project? i'm going to drill into this because, as i posted in the General Discussion, we're having a LOT of problems with mutating projects from day to day, week to week.

thanks Paul.
