You can audit a slot to determine the rule that is firing and troubleshoot unexpected behavior.
To determine which rule fires in a slot in the preview of your project, follow these steps.
In the navigation tree, click the rule or page that you want to preview.
Click Preview in the rule editor that appears in the edit area.
If a rule that you are previewing appears on more than one page, a selection dialog appears. Select a page that you want to preview.
Information about the previewed page appears in the manifest.
In the manifest, click the Audit button for the slot that you want to audit.
The rule that fired has a status of Fired in the first column of the Audit list. See the following table for additional information about the list.

Remove the rule.
If there are many rules and you cannot see one that you are looking for, try one of these actions:
Change the firing behavior of rules in the slot:
In the Action column, click the checkbox of an active rule to prevent it from ever firing in your application.
In the Priority column, highlight the number in the text box of the item that you want to re-prioritize and replace it with the new priority number. For example, if you want a rule to have the highest priority, type
1.In the Duplicate/Delete column, click the Delete icon to remove the rule from Experience Manager.
When you click the Delete icon, that row’s contents are marked for deletion and an Undo link displays. Clicking this link restores the contents of the row to the state just before you clicked the Delete icon.
In the Duplicate column, click the Duplicate icon to add a duplicate copy of the rule in this list. Duplicating a rule provides a convenient starting point for creating similar rules.
The preview application displays any changes that you have made to your project in audit mode. If you are not satisfied with the results, click Keep Editing to make more changes.
