# Manage rules

When you have several conditional formatting rules in your report, you can easily view and modify them using the **Manage Rules** option.&#x20;

To access, click on the 'Conditional formatting' dropdown and select **Manage rules.** A side panel opens, showing a list of all the rules.

d) Using the '**On/off toggle'**, you can enable/disable the rules.

e) You can reorder and prioritize the rules using the gripper to drag and drop rules.

#### Prioritizing rules

Let's consider an example of prioritizing rules. Let's add two rules as defined below.

Rule 1: When Actual Sales < 1000k, the actuals are shown in blue with bold style.

Rule 2: When Actual Sales < Forecast, the actuals are shown in red.

When both conditions are enabled, a conflict occurs when data meets both conditions. In such cases, **the first rule in the order is executed.**&#x20;

In the image on the left, Rule 1 is executed first. So, most values are in blue. In the image on the right, the values are in red.
