There is a "standard list" that defines all settings and contains default values. This is fdmprinter.def.json in resources/definitions (plus fdmextruder.def.json for a hand-ful of extruder settings). Then there is a .def.json for the printer-type (eg an Ultimaker 2+), which contains setting values specific to that printer. Additional files contain setting values on top of that for the currently selected variant, material, intent and quality. Each configured printer has a "machine_instance" file that shows what files make up this "stack", and at least 1 extruder file that does the same for each extruder. Oh, and then there are setting values in the material xml files, which can also be printer-type-specific and either apply to the extruder or to the printer globally.
Cura 5.7 is here and it brings a handy new workflow improvement when using Thingiverse and Cura together, as well as additional capabilities for Method series printers, and a powerful way of sharing print settings using new printer-agnostic project files! Read on to find out about all of these improvements and more.
S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
(Sorry, was out of office when this released)
This update is for...
All UltiMaker S series
New features
Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.

It is more complicated than that.
