# Pending changes

> Review, revert and activate changes made to an active card.

Changes to a **Draft** card apply immediately. Changes to an **Active** card are held as pending changes until you activate the card, so a live destination keeps serving the old shape until you decide otherwise.

The card then has status **Pending Changes** until you activate it.

## Where pending changes are shown

Pending changes are shown in the **Status** column of the properties table, on the rows that changed.

| Status              | Meaning                                    |
| ------------------- | ------------------------------------------ |
| **New**             | The property was added and is not live yet |
| **Pending changes** | An existing property was edited            |
| **Pending delete**  | The property is queued for removal         |
| **Active**          | Live on the card                           |

**Pending changes** and **Pending delete** mark rows whose edits are not live yet.

<Info>
  On a card that has never been activated, every property is still a pending
  addition, so the whole table reads **New** until you press **Activate card**
  for the first time. The built-in `id` property has no status of its own and its
  cell stays empty.
</Info>

## Revert one change

A row with a pending edit or a pending removal shows a revert button in place of the edit pencil. Pressing it drops that pending change and leaves the property as it is live.

<Info>
  You can collect as many pending changes as you like before activating, and
  revert them one row at a time.
</Info>

## Activate the changes

Press **Activate card** in the top right of the card page. The card moves to **Updating** while the changes are applied.

<Warning>
  While a card is **Updating** you cannot add, edit or remove properties, and
  the card cannot be archived, deleted or copied. Wait for the update to finish.
