# Edit Imported Rule

> Partially edit a pending imported rule before activation

Partially edit `prompt`, remediation guidance (`fix_note`), or extraction
`confidence` for one rule while its customer-owned import is pending review.

Requires a full-access API key. The import must still be in a pending-review
state (or equivalent pending status that allows edit); concurrent changes return
`409`.

## Path Parameters

<ParamField path="import_id" type="string" required>
  Policy import identifier
</ParamField>

<ParamField path="rule_id" type="string" required>
  Extracted rule ID within the import (unprefixed)
</ParamField>

## Request Body

At least one field is required. Explicit `null` clears `prompt` or `fix_note`.
`prompt` is accepted only for `AI_SIGNAL` rules.

<ParamField body="prompt" type="string">
  AI instruction for `AI_SIGNAL` rules. Nullable to clear.
</ParamField>

<ParamField body="fix_note" type="string">
  Remediation guidance. Nullable to clear.
</ParamField>

<ParamField body="confidence" type="number">
  Extraction confidence from 0 through 1
</ParamField>

## Response

Returns the updated extracted rule object (same shape as entries under
[Get Import Details](/api-reference/custom-policies/get-import-details)).
