Manage your input guardrails from the **Input Guardrails** page after you create them in Agent Platform. Update a guardrail to change its rule, name, or block message, or delete a guardrail your team no longer needs. To restore an earlier version, see [Restore a previous guardrail version](docId\:Bn2f1jbR-4aajrNIQJIHZ).

## Edit a guardrail

Editing a guardrail creates a new version, so you can change a rule without losing previous configurations. To edit a guardrail, complete the following step in Mark:

1. Go to **Agents > Input Guardrails**.
2. Click the input guardrail you want to edit.
3. Update the guardrail details.
4. Click **Save changes**.

Each edit creates a new untrained draft version. When you change the rule, click **Train** to retrain the guardrail for the change to take effect. Sensitivity changes are the exception, they apply immediately without retraining.

## Delete a guardrail

Delete a guardrail your team no longer needs. Deleting a guardrail removes it and all of its versions. To delete a guardrail, complete the following steps:

1. Go to **Agents > Input Guardrails**.
2. Click **Delete** for the guardrail you want to remove.

3. Click **Delete** on the confirmation page.

**Warning**

Deleting a guardrail is permanent and removes all of its versions. You cannot restore a deleted guardrail from version history. When an instance or a specialized agent still references the deleted guardrail, Mark no longer screens that input, and the requests pass through unscreened. Assign a different guardrail to keep enforcement in place.
