I would not like the diagram change without my conscius intervention; 
but,  for this case, I beleive Lars's   idea to pay attention  to 
timestamp may be sufficient:  

 no need for  another boolean variable as my proposal contains

a) the file has changed
b)the user has clicked the apply or ok button.
