The CLI show command can indicate that there are node related modifications which have not yet been activated. For example, the following command will show all the standalone nodes in InCenter along with information about the activation status:

admin@InCenter:/> show StandaloneNode
   Name      Username  IP              Port
-  --------  --------  --------------  ----
+  my-node1  admin     192.168.23.120  22
-  my-node2  admin     192.168.23.189  22
*  my-node3  admin     192.168.23.118  22

The example output above shows three nodes. The characters in the first column indicate if a node has been modified in some way but the modification has not yet been activated. The meanings of the characters are as follows:

* (asterisk) - The object has changes that have not been activated.

+ (plus) - The object has been added but the addition has not been activated.

- (minus) - The object has been deleted but the deletion has not been activated.

The following statements are therefore true for the output in the example above:

Once these changes have been activated and then committed, the initial character in the output will disappear from a subsequent show command.
