# Editing
Creating a rule in a data protection policy is a multi-step process consisting of configuring triggers, actions, and notifications. After saving the rule you can manage its operation, edit assignments, and add new rules, which provides high flexibility and efficiency in managing IT infrastructure.
## **Available actions**
* **Adding additional rules**
You can add additional rules to an existing policy by clicking **+** **Add rule** in the policy view.
* **Creating a new policy**
If there is a need to configure new policies, select **+ Add policy** and start the process from the beginning.
* **Copy / move rule**
The system allows copying or moving an existing rule assigned to one policy to another policy.
During the operation the user chooses whether the rule should be:
* **copied** - the original rule remains in the current policy, and its copy goes to a new or existing policy,
* **moved** - the rule is removed from the current policy and assigned to another policy.
Next, a new or existing policy to which the rule should be added is specified.
* #### Editing a rule
Editing a rule allows changing its configuration without creating a new one. You can modify, among others, triggers, conditions, actions, and notifications. The changes take effect from the moment of saving and apply to all policies to which the given rule is assigned.
* #### Deleting a rule
Deleting a rule permanently removes it from the system. The rule is automatically detached from all policies in which it was used. The operation is irreversible and requires confirmation because it affects the behavior of all rule assignments in the system.
## **Editing assignments**
After creating a policy and its rules, it is possible to edit the assignment of automation policies to user and device groups. To do this:
* Open the policy details.
* Change the assignment of objects (computers) and users as needed.
***
## **Summary**
Creating rules within a data protection policy in the system is a multi-stage process that includes configuring triggers, actions, and notifications.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://eaclouddoc.eauditor.eu/eacloud-docs-en/features/data-loss-prevention/start/editing.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
