Hi akj2784,

 

The Query Editor is a tool to shape data. The dataset is the source that we will use to analyze. If we don't apply the changes, why should we do that? 

 

Surely, we can close it without applying the changes.

    Hi Dale,

     

    I understand your point, but there can be a situation where you have to add/modify something in the edit query but dont want to process it as it takes a lot of time. Instead you want to process the entire model once all the changes are completed.

     

    Specially considering the fact that if we deploy the model on AAS, why would someone like to process it in local?

    Processing on local would be slower as compared to AAS.

      Hi Akash,

       

      I would suggest you create an idea here. The big models would consume many resources. That means the bill will be large if we do it in the AAS.
