just go to advanced and uncheck the slave box.

perhaps when the slave box is unchecked it will *receive* the update
from the master but *not load* it - offering a UI request to say
"there's an update queued from the master firewall, accept?"

it could even offer a diff to allow you to see what changes you made.

yes, making it foolproof would be tricky, there's probably not much
middle ground between a simple edit-lockout and a full blown
multi-master  system.
