 ## What is UDR management?
 
-Azure Virtual Network Manager (AVNM) allows you to describe your desired routing behavior and orchestrate user-defined routes (UDRs) to create and maintain the desired routing behavior. User-defined routes address the need for automation and simplification in managing routing behaviors. Currently, you’d manually create User-Defined Routes (UDRs) or utilize custom scripts. However, these methods are prone to errors and overly complicated. You can utilize the Azure-managed hub in Virtual WAN. This option has certain limitations (such as the inability to customize the hub or lack of IPV6 support) not be relevant to your organization. With UDR management in your virtual network manager, you have a centralized hub for managing and maintaining routing behaviors.

 The following are impacts of UDR management with Azure Virtual Network Manager on routes and route tables:
 
-- When conflicting routing rules exist (rules with same destination but different next hops), they aren't supported within or across rule collections that target the same virtual network or subnet.
-- When you create a route rule with the same destination as an existing route in the route table, the routing rule is ignored.
-- When a virtual network manager-created UDR is manually modified in the route table, the route isn't up when an empty commit is performed. Also, any update to the rule isn't reflected in the route with the same destination.
+- When conflicting routing rules exist (rules with the same destination but different next hops), only one of the conflicting rules will be applied, while the others will be ignored. Any of the conflicting rules may be selected at random. It is important to note that conflicting rules within or across rule collections targeting the same virtual network or subnet are not supported.
+- When you create a routing rule with the same destination as an existing route in the route table, the routing rule is ignored.
+- When a route table with existing UDRs is present, Azure Virtual Network Manager will create a new managed route table that includes both the existing routes and new routes based on the deployed routing configuration.
+- Any additional UDRs added to a managed route table will remain unaffected and will not be deleted when the routing configuration is removed. Only routes created by Azure Virtual Network Manager will be removed.
+- If an Azure Virtual Network Manager managed UDR is manually edited in the route table, that route will be deleted when the configuration is removed from the region.
 - Existing Azure services in the Hub virtual network maintain their existing limitations with respect to Route Table and UDRs.
-- Azure Virtual Network Manager requires a managed resource group to store the route table. If you need to delete the resource group, deletion must happen before any new deployments are attempted for resources in the same subscription.
+- Azure Virtual Network Manager requires a managed resource group to store the route table. If an Azure Policy enforces specific tags or properties on resource groups, those policies must be disabled or adjusted for the managed resource group to prevent deployment issues. Furthermore, if you need to delete this managed resource group, ensure that deletion occurs prior to initiating any new deployments for resources within the same subscription.
 - UDR management allows users to create up to 1000 UDRs per route table.

 In this article, you learn how to deploy multiple hub-and-spoke topologies, and manage user-defined routes (UDRs) with Azure Virtual Network Manager. This scenario is useful when you have a hub and spoke architecture in multiple Azure regions. In the past, customers with firewalls or network virtual appliances performed many manual operations to do cross-hub and spoke in the past. Users needed many user-defined routes(UDRs) to be set up by hand, and when there were changes in spoke virtual networks, such as adding new spoke virtual networks and subnets, they also needed to change user-defined routes and route tables. UDR management with Virtual Network Manager can help you automate these tasks.
