I have a data set that is updated every morning with new data, but sometimes the information for only one or two nodes needs to be updated during the day. Could there be an optional block (like the Boost flush page block) that shows migrate status for the node (whether or not Migrate thinks it needs to update the node, or whether the node will be deleted on the next migrate run), and also gives a button that says "Update Node" or something like that?

We sometimes do testing with the migrate import script, too, and this would allow us to simply update one node that we're testing with filefield problems, etc., without having to clear and reimport an entire dataset...

Title: Mark Nodes for Update Manually? » Expose migration bookkeeping on entity edit pages

I've been thinking that it would be handy to see the source ID and needs_update status on the edit page for migrated nodes (or whatever), found this issue already touched on it. And it's a nice idea to be able to change the needs_update value there.

In D7, once could use a Field that has a widget for edit form and a formatter for display on node. I recommend doing this in a migrate_fields module or somesuch. That way, migrate and migrate_ui could be deleted and this persists as a UI to the long lasting map table.
