When you save your changes in the Editor, we run a set of consistency checks to ensure your updates are valid.
You control how much consistency checking we do when you pick either “Save” or “Save & verify data”.
The later does more checking and takes longer. For example, the later reads and verifies your workflow templates and we check for duplicate key values.
We offer you the two options because the more extensive checks are time consuming and can slow down your editing.
Because of the cost of checking, the Editor does not detect and prevent all of the possible errors you can introduce while your are actually editing. We do our best to detect and prevent obvious errors, but some errors are only detectable when you request either “Save” or “Save & verify data”.
People are sometimes confused when they choose “Save & verify data” and see more errors than they expect. That is because of the difference in the level of checking between “Save” and “Save & verify data”.
You should do “Save & verify data” periodically. This is especially important when you have workflow rules.
