Prior to Loki, you were shown details about what was getting updated. Is there a way in Loki AppCenter to see the specifics prior to clicking the update button?

As for now, this should be a feature request for now as there is no such possibility.
However, as a workaround you can check applicable updates with apt list --upgradable in a terminal window:
user@host:~$ apt list --upgradable

One may fire up a terminal and issue a command prior to updating from app-center: sudo tail -f /var/log/apt/history.log /var/log/apt/term.log
Then you will see what is going on

Actually I think this is only useful to check what has been done not to check before clicking on the update button. Commented Nov 18, 2016 at 7:43
