Commit Selective Configuration Changes

Selectively commit configuration objects made by one or more firewall administrators.
Configuration changes occur often and are typically made by multiple administrators who are not aware of what other configuration changes were made. It is vital to be able to control which configuration objects are committed and prevent incomplete configurations from being committed to your firewall. Rather than committing all pending configuration changes, you can instead select configuration objects to commit. A system log is generated after a successful selective commit.
The ability to select specific objects commit allows multiple administrators to effectively make configuration changes without disrupting other administrators who make configuration changes that are not ready to be committed. Leveraging the ability to selectively commit configuration changes allows you to maintain your defined operational procedure while still being able to successfully make independent configuration changes that are not defined within your operational scope.
