    To see if a ActiveRecord object has changed, you can call:

    instance.changed?
    

    To see if a specific attribute was changed, you can do:

    instance.attr_changed?
    

    where attr is the attribute you want to check.

    To check for if a nested model changed, you can just do:

    instance.nested_model.changed?
