Description

On the chapter about Editable DataTable
we can find this :

This chapter includes recipes for:
    Reading the contents of the DataTable
    Filtering out null values
    Uploading data
    Determining which cell has changed 
    Adding or removing columns
    Adding or removing rows
    Clearable, deletable, renamable, and hideable columns
    Export DataTable

However, no recipe is provided for Determining which cell has changed. Is this because there is no "API-way" to do it ?

Research direction

Start with the Editable DataTable chapter at https://dash.plotly.com/datatable/editable and review the existing recipes and their references to determine what the missing recipe should cover. Check whether the documented API supports identifying the changed cell; done means adding a focused recipe or clarifying in the chapter why no API-based recipe is available.
