As of February 2026, the best practice is for the chair or vice-chair of RM to update or create allUC rules directly in the Network Zone. All new versions of both Sandbox and Production allUC rules should be copied and added to the Shared rules folder in Drive.

Rule versions: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1N03ifk5OWfZP0W6oORKa2DuNfooEI0tT?usp=share_link
