delete published change before installing

IML — Wed, 17 Apr 2024 10:52:56 GMT

Hello,
I would like to know if there is any way to delete a change that is published along with others and has not been installed.
Just delete one from a group before installing, and not have to cancel the rest of the changes or add another change that cancels it.
Thank you so much.

Changes made by administrators in the context of a session.
The session can either be published in its entirety (committing the changes to the rulebase so they can be installed) or discarded.
It is not possible to publish only portions of the session.

You can do it the step by step way and revert your changes one by one. Had a look at the audit logs and you can see what changes are done in your session.

What @PhoneBoy said is 100% the case, you cant do portion of the changes.

As others have answered this is not possible. However there is a way for you to “monitor” the changes as they happen and easily “fix” them.

In SmartConsole go to Manage & Settings > Preferences

Scroll all the way down to Check Point Lab section

Activate the option Enable Session pane – Review all the changes before you publish

This will add a new pane on the right side of the screen called Session

In this pane you can see the objects and areas that were changed and edit it directly from the pane to “undo” the change.
