# Objective
EntityRef::get_change_ticks mentions that ComponentTicks is useful to
create change detection for your own runtime.
However, ComponentTicks doesn't even expose enough data to create
something that implements DetectChanges. Specifically, we need to be
able to extract the last change tick.
## Solution
We add a method to get the last change tick. We also add a method to get
the added tick.
## Changelog
- Add `last_changed_tick` and `added_tick` to `ComponentTicks`
