If I understood well the whole process when working with a remote repository.

I save my edit in the local repository via normal Ctrl+S hence local
repository is updated but the remote could not.
On the other hand I could have my edit not saved in local repository
(still in application memory)  but local repo is in sync with the
remote one.

I could imagine using a classic star sign after the logbook name to
signal if it's modified or not. I mena the logbook name on the window
titlebar
johndoe-logbook.xml (saved)
johndoe-logbook.xml* (non saved)

Then we could have a small round dot like a led (green/red) on the
window right upper side to signal if the local repo is in sync with
remote repository.

We have a small space used from main menu between title bar and profile graph.
