updatedAt GraphQL property meaning

Hi everyone. I was just wondering if anyone knew what normal user interactions in the GUI changes the “updatedAt” property within the GraphQL API?

I’ve seen it under the enrollmentsConnection within queries such as

nodes {
  updatedAt
  lastActivityAt
    user {
      name
      updatedAt
    }
  }

 

I’m just curious what interactions might update this date as I’ve sometimes seen the date for updatedAt being more recent than the last login or lastActivityat

Is there any detailed documentation available for Canvas’ GraphQL ? I’m trying to use it a bit more than the REST API and it’s quite promising so far (and fast!).

UPDATE:

I noticed when I send a conversations message to a user, it will update the user's updatedAt field property. So I'm guessing it relates to any activity on that user's account?
