-When using the CLI to modify values, you will find that all changes first get staged and not commited to the file directly. If you want to permanently store changes you need to commit them. After calling the commit command, you can also make the system reload and apply the changes that you made. (This will only affect services that correctly use link:procd.html[procd] init scripts)
+When using the CLI to modify values, you will find that all changes first get staged and not commited to the file directly. You can see the affected keys with `uci changes`. Single value options get set with `uci set key='value'`, list options (like 'system.ntp.server' above) with `uci add_list key='value'`. If you want to permanently store changes you need to commit them (see example below). Just like printing settings, you can commit all changes or just do so for a subset. After calling the commit command, you can also make the system reload and apply the changes that you made. (This will only affect services that correctly use link:procd.html[procd] init scripts.)
