# 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' as shown in the below image. A side panel opens showing a list of all the rules.

a) To edit the existing rules, click on the '**Pencil'** icon.

b) You can use the '**Duplicate'** icon to create a copy of existing rules and edit further as required.

c) You can delete the rules using the '**Delete'** icon corresponding to that rule.

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 2022 Actuals < 2022 Plan, 2022 Actuals are shown in red.

Rule 2: When 2022 Actuals < 2021 Actuals, 2022 Actuals are shown in blue.

When 2022 Actuals are lesser than both the 2022 Plan and 2021 Actuals, there is a conflict. In such cases, the first rule in the order is executed.&#x20;

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