Edgium / DNS panel guide
Edgium panel DNS manager: review, undo and history
On the DNS Zone tab you manage the records of your domain when Edgium DNS is on. The screen brings safety to something so sensitive: review before saving, an Undo button, a change history and error messages that say what to fix.
All images were taken in a demo environment with fictitious data: example domains, documentation addresses and simulated traffic. The numbers illustrate how to read each screen and do not represent any customer. The panel is shown in its Portuguese interface; it is also available in English.

Review before saving
When you edit a record, the panel shows a review screen with the before and after values side by side, and tells you how long those who already cached the old value may keep seeing it. That depends on the record TTL. Nothing is written until you click Confirm and save; Back and edit returns to the form.
Changes that may affect email, such as MX records, get highlighted and extra warnings in the review.
Undo
After creating, editing or deleting a record, the screen shows a notice with the Undo button. One click returns the record to its previous values.
Change history
The clock icon on each row opens the history of that record. The zone History button opens the history of the whole zone, with a filter by name and by type. Each item shows whether it was created, edited or deleted, the value before and after, who did it and when. The Updated at column of the table also shows the last author.
Errors explained
When something cannot be saved, the message appears on the field that needs fixing and says what happened, on which record and what to do. Examples: "This record already exists" or, as in the image, that an A record with that name already exists and so a CNAME cannot be created alongside it.
More safeguards on the screen
- Each save changes only the record you touched.
- The form shows the full address that will be created.
- The nameserver (NS) and SOA records of the main domain stay protected, with a discreet notice on the screen.
