Hi, I am wanting to edit an existing policy and I notice that there is a caution symbol that states that "Editing a managed policy can break Kibana" I am not sure if it will break or not . However there is an option that will allow me to save as new policy. If I save it as a new policy, will it auto override the old one or will I need to manually make the changes so that the new policy will take affect? ---

Welcome to our community! 😃 Can you elaborate a little more, what sort of policy are you referring to? ---
