The step that writes these rules into a settings document now takes one of several modes in place of a simple on\/off switch. In restore mode it combines the rules in a different way, and in one other mode it does not write the document at all.\n\n**Why**\n\nThis is internal handling of managed settings and adds nothing for you to set.\n\n- Area: Permissions\n- Tier: Under the hood\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
