Several of you say that you keep your local collection in a way that does not match the database rules (for instance: What "Rules" do you ignore/break in your own local Database?) This means either A) making a submission requires you to make changes, submit, and then change back or B) create a backup, make changes and submit, then restore a backup.

Instead, how about something in the middle: click a button that switches you into a mode where you can make temporary changes, and after submitting, return to "normal" which reverts the changes to where they used to be (how you wanted them to stay in the first place) and the temporary changes are deleted and removed from memory.


Two safeguards feature to include would be the program turning off the ability to Refresh profiles from your collection while in this temporary mode and for temporary changes/mode to revert when the program closes.
