Would be great to have multiple engineers (or a single one) make changes and priory to applying changes we get a summary of what will change. Sanity check..
In JunOS this is a show|compare

In a way this should technically be possible as there is already a record of what’s changed AFTER it’s applied when you want to do a configuration rollback. So the system in my mind at least knows what will change before it changes so it can mark down those changes in the ACB.

You can always view the config history, before or after applying, but trying to pick out which specific things in a section haven't yet been applied isn't possible the way things are designed currently. If multiple changes have happened there isn't any way for the page to know which specific config changes are relevant, for example.
So at the moment this isn't feasible, but eventually it might be, though it would take some fundamental redesign to happen, which is out of scope for this sort of issue.

Understood. Thanks for the quick response Jim.
