Checks appear in the south Checks panel of the Dashboard, with any newly edited Check indicated by the grayed out status from the last time the Check ran or until the Check runs with the updated settings. During this time the More Information dialog displays Check has been edited and hasn't run on the device type.

These changes will appear in the Pending Actions dialog whist awaiting synchronization with the Agent and can be reverted from there.
