Review a YAML draft
Available in v0.18.0 in the shared YAML editor. Supported writes still depend on the resource, RBAC, read-only settings and context protection.
- Open YAML for a supported resource and begin editing. The editor retains the snapshot from the start of the edit.
- Select Review changes to compare that snapshot with the unsubmitted draft. Select Edit draft to return to editing.
- Use Revert draft to restore the edit-start text. This only changes the local draft; it does not roll back the cluster.
- Validate with the server dry-run and review its effective output separately from your typed changes. Any text change invalidates previous validation.
- Apply only after reviewing the target and completing the required confirmation.
If freshly loaded resource data differs during editing, Lumen preserves the draft and blocks further validation/apply until Reload latest (discard draft). Reload deliberately discards your edits; review the new snapshot before trying again. A dry-run does not lock the object against another writer.
Oversized documents display a notice when line comparison is unavailable. The complete draft remains editable. This shared editor workflow is separate from the unreleased custom-resource instance editor.
