Managing File Policies

The File Policies page displays a list of existing file policies along with their last-modified dates. You can use this page to manage your file policies.

Note

The system checks for updates to the list of file types eligible for dynamic analysis (no more than once a day). If the list of eligible file types changes, this constitutes a change in the file policy; any access control policy using the file policy is marked out-of-date if deployed to any devices. You must deploy policies before the updated file policy can take effect on the device. See Maintain Your System: Update File Types Eligible for Dynamic Analysis.
