Does ignition have/keep a record of a history for changes that were made in a Designer Project?

We were looking to see if we can track who made what changes in Designer but have not been able to find anything.

If anyone could help that would be great!

Not by default, but you can enable auditing for the project assuming you've set up an audit profile on the gateway.

Does it contain a history of windows/objects saved/modified from designer or is it just tag edits and creations etc?

Project level auditing captures every changed resource by resource type, but does not contain any more granular info. So you'll see that a window, a view, or a transaction group changed, but not _how_ they were changed.

For more granular info consider setting up git history or something more involved attached to the project representation on the filesystem.
