Versioning: editing a rule that's already in use

Last reviewed Sep 6, 2026

Editing a brand rule that's already generated violations creates a new version of the rule, rather than silently rewriting history.

Edit a rule

1. Go to Settings, then Brand rules.
2. Open the rule you want to edit.
3. Make your changes.
4. Save, which creates a new version.

What happens to existing violations

Old violations keep their original definition

Violations already found under the previous version stay associated with that version's definition, so the record accurately reflects what the rule looked like at the time. Content is re-checked against the new version going forward.
