changes. Reviewing the network changes goes to
:menuselection:`Network --> Interfaces` where the changes can be

feature is nice because the network settings preview can automatically
roll back any configuration errors that are accidentally saved.

If the network settings applied work as intended, click
:guilabel:`KEEP CHANGES`. Otherwise, the changes can be discarded by
clicking :guilabel:`DISCARD CHANGES`.
