Amplication’s Pending Changes feature provides a critical review step in your workflow, allowing you to meticulously check every modification before code generation. Gain complete visibility into all updates, ensure adherence to your standards, and maintain full control over your resource’s code with this powerful feature.

The Pending Changes feature gives you a comprehensive pre-generation review, guaranteeing you’re always in command of your resource’s generated code.

​
Pending Changes Sidebar

The Pending Changes sidebar provides a concise summary of all modifications awaiting code generation.
