8.1 and 8.3 at a glance
Arifa works the same way on both Ignition lines, with the same settings. What differs is where things are, the API key field, and a few log lines.

| Log lines that differ | The 8.1 build does not write the lines in the 8.3 column | was asked to notify, found N SMS contact value(s), and the API key status lines. See Troubleshooting |
Arifa profiles are not migrated between the two lines. See Upgrading from 8.1 to 8.3.
