See How New and Modified App-IDs Impact Your Security Policy

Newly-categorized and modified App-IDs can change the way the firewall enforces traffic. Perform a content update policy review to see how new and modified App-IDs impact your security policy, and to easily make any necessary adjustments. You can perform a content update policy review for both downloaded and installed content.
  1. Select
    Device
    Dynamic Updates
    .
  2. See the New and Modified App-IDs in a Content Release to learn more about each App-ID that a content release introduces or modifies.
  3. For a downloaded or currently installed content release, click
    Review Policies
    in the Action column. The
    Policy review based on candidate configuration
    dialog allows you to filter by
    Content Version
    and view either new or modified App-IDs introduced in a specific release (you can also filter the policy impact of new App-IDs according to
    Rulebase
    ,
    Virtual System
    , and
    Application
    ).
  4. Select an App-ID from the
    Application
    drop-down to view policy rules that currently enforce the application. The rules displayed are based on the App-IDs that match to the application before the new App-ID is installed (view application details to see the list of application signatures that an application was
    Previously Identified As
    before the new App-ID).
  5. Use the detail provided in the policy review to plan policy rule updates to take effect when the App-ID is installed, or if the content release version that included the App-ID is currently installed, the changes you make take effect immediately.
    You can
    Add app to selected policies
    or
    Remove app from selected policies
    .
