# Reactivate Rules

> Reactivate previously deactivated rules

Reactivate rules that were previously deactivated. Custom rules have their status set back to active. Default rules are removed from your deactivated list.

<Note>
  This endpoint is for re-activating **previously deactivated** rules. To activate rules from a new policy import for the first time, use [POST /api/policies/import/{import_id}/activate](/api-reference/custom-policies/activate-rules) instead.
