Reviewing, saving, and discarding changes

Web Security Help | Web Security Solutions | Version 7.8.x

When you make a change in Web Security manager, you must typically click OK at the bottom of the page to cache the change, then click Save and Deploy to save the change to the Policy Database, which causes the change to take effect.

Some fields or sections in Web Security manager have their own Save or Save Now buttons. Changes to these features are saved and implemented immediately, rather than first being cached and later saved.

Some types of changes require you to click OK on both a subordinate page and a main page to cache changes.


	Important Avoid double- or triple-clicking the OK button. Multiple, rapid clicks to the same button can cause display problems that can be solved only by exiting and reopening the browser.

Use the View Pending Changes page to review cached changes. Changes to a single area of functionality are typically grouped into a single entry in the cache list. For example, if you add 6 clients and delete 2 clients, the cache list indicates only that changes were made to Clients. Changes to a single Settings page, on the other hand, may result in multiple entries in the cache list. This occurs when a single Settings page is used to configure multiple functions.

To save all of the cached changes, click Save All Changes.

To abandon all of the cached changes, click Cancel All Changes.

After choosing Save All Changes or Cancel All Changes, you are returned to the last page you selected. There is no undo for either option.

Use the Audit Log to review the details of changes made in the Web Security manager. See Viewing and exporting the audit log for more information.
