Making DNS record changes more reliable
May 25, 2020Dina Kozlov
Summary
Introduced a 'Save' button for DNS record edits in the Cloudflare dashboard to provide a confirmation step before changes propagate. This aims to prevent accidental 'fat-finger' errors, such as toggling the proxy icon or mistyping record content, which could lead to website or API outages. This feature applies to all record types and affects content, TTL, and proxy status changes.
