  Deactivate or Modify the Policies:
  
  If possible, deactivate the live policies that are using the rule group. This will allow you to make changes to the rule group.
  Alternatively, if you need to keep the policies active, consider creating a copy of the rule group, modify the copy, and then update the policies to use the new rule group.
  
  
  
  Make the Necessary Changes:
  
  Once the live policies are deactivated or updated to use a different rule group, you can proceed to modify the original rule group as needed.
  
  
  
  Re-activate Policies:
  
  After making the necessary changes to the rule group, re-activate the policies that were previously deactivated, or update them to use the modified rule group.
