Rules are saved and previewed as a draft before being applied. The preview helps you see how an operation changes mapped or transformed catalog values. Check representative products and counts, especially when a rule could affect many records or alter product grouping.
If the source or draft changes after preview, refresh the preview before applying. Restoring an earlier rule version returns it to a draft so that you can inspect it again; it does not silently republish a release. A rules or validation-profile change can also require rechecking carried review decisions. Prepare a new release only after inspecting the resulting catalog and review state.
What to do
- Save the proposed rule as a draft.
- Preview against the latest source and inspect affected product examples.
- Apply the exact draft revision you reviewed.
- Inspect new catalog issues and review recheck reasons.
- Prepare a new release separately when the result is correct.
