 If your `ApplicationController` has a `current_user` method, PaperTrail will store the value it returns in the `version`'s `whodunnit` column.  Note that this column is a string so you will have to convert it to an integer if it's an id and you want to look up the user later on:
 
 ```ruby
->> last_change = Widget.versions.last
+>> last_change = widget.versions.last
 >> user_who_made_the_change = User.find last_change.whodunnit.to_i
 ```
