Hello chris,

Thanks for the answer it suggestion worked i was able to print the items that were publish but not yet installed. I very well formatted report (Changes Report) was generated and printed.

Again, use the Changes Report for this.
You will have to manually select the revision you just installed and the revision you wish to compare it with as described in the SK.

If you made changes to NAT through the objects themselves (i.e. Automatic NAT rules), they will show up as changes to the objects themselves.
This is expected behavior.

If you made changes to manual NAT rules and they aren't showing up in the report, then I recommend a TAC case.
