On the content policy page, you can edit the order of rules. Rule order can be used to create highly customized blocking behavior, so understanding how to organize your rules and prevent conflicts is extremely important.
In the following scenario, there is an allow rule and a block rule that both have the "Music" category selected:
- Allow: Music Category
- Block: Music Category
The music category will be allowed since the allow rule is above the block rule.
If the order were to change as follows:
- Block: Music Category
- Allow: Music Category
The music category would be blocked since the block rule is above the allow rule.
You can use this approach to exclude specific apps or websites from a block:
- Allow: Spotify App (in the music category)
- Block: Music Category
In this scenario, all music websites and apps are blocked with the exception of Spotify. This is called a default-deny approach where an entire category is blocked by default and exceptions are added.
