   The current groups appear in a tree structure.

3. Expand the All Groups node in the Groups tree.
4. Select the group with the rule that you want to modify.
5. Click the Rules tab.
6. Use the mouse to hover over the rule.

   Options to edit or delete the rule appear.

7. Click Edit.

   The Edit Rule window appears.

8. Make the desired changes to existing filters, add filters or subrules, or remove filters or subrules as needed.
9. Click OK.
10. Click Preview Results to confirm that the modified rule adds the appropriate items the group. If necessary, edit the rule again.
