**Introducing a new console experience for Amazon WAF**

You can now use the updated experience to access Amazon WAF functionality anywhere in the console. For more details, see [Working with the console](https://docs.amazonaws.cn/waf/latest/developerguide/working-with-console.html). 

# Editing a Web ACL

**Warning**  
Amazon WAF Classic is is going through a planned end-of-life process. Refer to your Amazon Health dashboard for the milestones and dates specific to your Region.

**Note**  
This is **Amazon WAF Classic** documentation. You should only use this version if you created Amazon WAF resources, like rules and web ACLs, in Amazon WAF prior to November 2019, and you have not migrated them over to the latest version yet. To migrate your web ACLs, see [Migrating your Amazon WAF Classic resources to Amazon WAF](waf-migrating-from-classic.md).  
**For the latest version of Amazon WAF**, see [Amazon WAF](waf-chapter.md). 

To add or remove rules from a web ACL or change the default action, perform the following procedure. <a name="classic-web-acl-editing-procedure"></a>

**To edit a web ACL**

1. Sign in to the Amazon Web Services Management Console and open the Amazon WAF console at [https://console.amazonaws.cn/wafv2/](https://console.amazonaws.cn/wafv2/). 

   If you see **Switch to Amazon WAF Classic** in the navigation pane, select it.

1. In the navigation pane, choose **Web ACLs**.

1. Choose the name of the web ACL that you want to edit. This opens a page with the web ACL's details in the right pane.

1. On the **Rules** tab in the right pane, choose **Edit web ACL**.

1. To add rules to the web ACL, perform the following steps:

   1. In the **Rules** list, choose the rule that you want to add. 

   1. Choose **Add rule to web ACL**.

   1. Repeat steps a and b until you've added all the rules that you want.

1. If you want to change the order of the rules in the web ACL, use the arrows in the **Order** column. Amazon WAF Classic inspects web requests based on the order in which rules appear in the web ACL. 

1. To remove a rule from the web ACL, choose the **x** at the right of the row for that rule. This doesn't delete the rule from Amazon WAF Classic, it just removes the rule from this web ACL.

1. To change the action for a rule or the default action for the web ACL, choose the preferred option.
**Note**  
When setting the action for a rule group or an Amazon Web Services Marketplace rule group (as opposed to a single rule), the action you set for the rule group (either **No override** or **Override to count**) is called the override action. For more information, see [Rule group override](classic-waf-managed-rule-groups.md#classic-waf-managed-rule-group-override)

1. Choose **Save changes**.
