We have introduced **Edge Rules** in MyPressable, allowing site owners and collaborators with the Security role to manage network-level redirects, access challenges, caching rules, and IP restrictions before traffic reaches WordPress.

**Updates & Navigation**

- **Edge Rules Panel:** Added a dedicated **Edge Rules** page under **Site Configuration** (below Security) for active, fully provisioned sites.
- **Pre-Configured Rule Templates:** Six quick-start templates covering IP-restricted admin access, monitoring tool challenge bypasses, country-level blocking/challenging, URL redirects, cache exclusion, and managed AI crawler filtering.
- **Custom Rule Builder:** Added support for granular match criteria (paths, query parameters, domains, request methods, user agents, referrers, headers, cookies, IP addresses, ASN numbers, and browser fingerprints) with actions for redirects, rewrites, block/challenge handling, header injection, and edge cache overrides.
- **Three-Step Creation Wizard:** Implemented a standard creation flow (Choose a rule, Set it up, Review) featuring validation checks, required audit reasons (up to 255 characters), and lockout warnings when editing admin IP allowlists.
- **Execution Order & Rule Hierarchy:** Rules execute in sequential stages: Redirects, Rewrites, Block & Challenge, Request headers, Edge cache, and Response headers. Block and challenge rules can be ordered using Move up and Move down controls.
- **Emergency Suspend All:** Added an account-level **Suspend All** toggle to pause all active custom rules instantly while retaining configurations, with one-click **Restore All Rules** recovery.
- **Activity Log Tracking:** Logs all rule creations, modifications, deletions, and emergency suspensions in the site’s Activity Logs, including author attribution and provided reasons.
- **Platform Protection & Capacity Limits:** Displays Pressable protection rules alongside custom rules. Enforces platform limits of up to 20 rules per site and up to 5 rules per individual domain.

**How to Get Started**

Log into **MyPressable**, open a site, and go to **Site Configuration > Edge Rules**. Click **Add Rule** to select a rule template or create a custom edge rule. Site owners can grant access to collaborators by checking the **Security** capability in collaborator settings.
