Using Activate Button
If the Use Activate button to modify/create activities for modified shifts option is ON:
The Activate button becomes enabled under Manage menu near Apply.
Only the shift modifications are applied after clicking Apply button, but activities are not created.

But, it's up to the company to decide.

It is possible to find all such shifts by right-click and selecting Tag > All modified shifts.
All the changed shifts will become selected.
To activate the changes, it is needed to click Activate button.
If a user clicks Yes for the appeared confirmation message, all changes will be activated (activities created/updated).
For your convenience, there is also possibility to activate many changes for several plans at once.

Then, when all work is done, it is possible to activate all changes in all plans by one click Activate Changes button on Rotation Maintenance view.
