# The Policy Editing view

The instructions for traffic handling are stored as rules in Policy elements. You can view and edit the rules in the Policy Editing view.

You can open policies in two modes. Any number of administrators can simultaneously check the rules in preview mode. When you open the policy in edit mode, the policy is locked for you exclusively.

The Policy Editing view has tabs for:

- Different types of rules in the policy
- Side pane for selecting and creating elements that you use in the rules
