NOTE: Edited prebuilt rules have the `Modified` badge on their details' pages and in the Rules table.


NOTE: Modified fields on prebuilt rules are marked with the **Modified** badge. From the rule's details page, click the badge to view the changed fields. Changes are displayed in a side-by-side comparison of the original Elastic version and the modified version. Deleted characters are highlighted in red; added characters are highlighted in green. You can also view this comparison by clicking the **Modified Elastic rule** badge under the rule's name on the rule's details page.

=== Revert modifications to prebuilt rules

After modifying a prebuilt rule, you can restore it's original version. To do this:

1. Open the rule's details page, click the **All actions** menu, then **Revert to Elastic version**.
2. In the flyout, review the modified fields. Deleted characters are highlighted in red; added characters are highlighted in green.
3. Click **Revert** to restore the modified fields to their original versions.

NOTE: If you haven’t updated the rule in a while, its original version might be unavailable for comparison. You can avoid this by regularly updating prebuilt rules.
