Publishing Changes

Publish changes in the Web Application Firewall service.

Many of the actions you can take for an edge policy require publishing before they can take effect. Updates to your WAF policy appear in the list to be published using the Unpublished Changes feature under WAF Policy for the edge policy. Pending changes do not persist across browser sessions. Once you publish changes, it cannot be edited until changes propagate to the edge nodes.
