Hi Rafael! Do you want just a pop up with the question : “are you sure you want to make these changes?” with a confirm and cancel buttons?  
Or, you would like to inform an admin of your app that one of the users is about to make changes to the table and you want to check those changes before letting your user make that change?

Hi, Nat! What I would like is closer of the second option. The user does the change but the adm need to aprove before the change goes to the table. I’m trying to do a “temporary” table but I failed.

Do you allow users to change all the fields or just some of them?

I am probably overthinking it and there is a better option but… What if you let the user input new/corrected data to a helper table and then download that helper table as a csv file and send it to the Admin. Admin checks the csv and if all good - updates the actual table. Annoying extra work for Admin but if it has to be done - it’s gotta be done…

Depends on the field. Somo ones is just some of them but anothers is everyone that did a Login.

I was thinking you can definitely store them in a helper table, maybe no need for a CSV file, show the admins two rows of data next to each other to see the “changes”, and when the admin approves, you use set column to bring those back to the real row.

Extra points for an AI integration/JavaScript to figure out what are the actual changes.
