Commit Selective Configuration Changes for Managed Devices

Selectively commit configuration objects made by one or more Panorama™ administrators.
On the Panorama™ management server, configuration changes occur often and are typically made by multiple administrators who are not aware of what other configuration changes were made on Panorama. It is vital to be able to control which configuration objects are committed to Panorama and prevent incomplete configurations from being pushed from Panorama to your managed firewalls. Rather than committing all pending configuration changes to Panorama, you can instead select specific device group and template stack objects to commit. A system log is generated after a successful selective commit.
The ability to select specific objects to 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 to Panorama 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.
