# How default rules can be changed

Rules inherited from the default Template policies cannot be edited directly. Instead, you can create a copy of the default Template policies.

In most cases, templates and policies are inherited from the default Template policies. However, it is not possible to edit these system elements. If you must edit the default templates, you can create a copy.

Version upgrades and dynamic updates might require changes to the default Template policies. These changes are not applied to any copies of the templates. You must manually edit the copies to make sure that the system communications continue to be allowed and all necessary inspection continues to be performed.
