command lets you apply to the control project changes that you make to properties of anWhen you use the command, changes to the control project are saved.
Change Indicator
An asterisk is displayed next to the name of the PAC in the pane to indicate that a modification to its properties in the Topology Manager has not been applied to the control project and/or a change to its configuration in Control Expert Editor has not been applied to the system project.
The asterisk appears only when Control Expert Editor is open and a modification is made after opening it. Also, it appears only for the user who has made the modification.
The change that you make in the Topology Manager needs to have an impact on the control project. Changing the attribute, for example, does not display the change indicator.
When the asterisk is displayed and Control Expert Editor is open, the command is available.
Working Principle
