Hi, I am new to the ZK environment. In my application I have a .zul page with text inputs and drop-downs. Is there a way to warn the user before leaving the page that there are unsaved changes?

Thanks in advance!

You can call

Clients.confirmClose("any"); //with non-null string

To enable page leaving warning message. Then when you leave the current page (close, reload, visit a link), the browser will show its default warning dialog.

Thank you for your answer! Is there a way to detect if there are unsaved changes in the page? Or do I have to implement it manually?

zk cannot tell what is "unsaved". It's an application logic that you have to implement by yourself.
