Command Button	Description
Save Changes	Saves any changes you have made to a policy either through the Common Object panel or through the Policy Rules panel. When this button is active, the Navigation buttons on the Policy Rules Page disappear. You must click the Save Changes button before you can move to another page or log out. When you save your changes, you are prompted to activate your policy. The proxy user, auth user, admin user, Jar signature, and Jar Hash common objects are automatically saved when they are edited or new objects are added. For these objects, the change applies immediately and cannot be reversed and the Save Changes button is greyed out to show that it is inactive. When you save changes, you are prompted to activate the modified policy. If you decide not to activate the modified policy now, you can do so later using the Verify Policy button. (See below in this table.)
Cancel Changes	Cancels any changes made to a policy either through the Common Object panel or through the Policy Rules panel.
Verify Policy	Verifies a policy that you have created or modified to check that all the rules are valid and should compile successfully when you activate it. Verifying a policy permits debugging it without having to activate it. When a policy successfully verifies, you are prompted to activate it.

The Policy Rules panel displays the rules in a policy and their order. In this panel, you can write new rules for a policy and edit the rules in a policy. You can establish rules for Packet Filtering, Administrative Access, NAT, or VPN, using the respective tab.
