How to copy from just the right side of the Preview Changes diff window?

L3 Networker

In PAN 6.1 if I go to Commit and click Preview Changes - I have the old on the left and the new 

on the right. The problem is that I want to copy the text from the right side of that screen 

and not the left. Is there any handy trick that would allow me to do that? I tried the alt key, 

the ctrl key nothing works. It would be super helpful for creating my change control documents

if I didn't have to spend a lot of time clearing out the old config from that paste operation. 

Any sage advice??

You can select all on this page, paste it into Excel and remove columns you don't need.

 

There is also cli command that aggregates what was added and what was removed.

You can also just view (and export if you want) the config logs. 

 

Monitor > Logs section > Configuration.

 

Each change is documented, and it contains what was edited before commit too in case you want to see what each edit was.
