| 42 | +## Upgrade Application Gateway WAF configuration to WAF policy |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | +For Application Gateway with WAF configuration, you can upgrade the WAF configuration to a WAF policy associated with Application Gateway. |
| 45 | + |
| 46 | +The WAF policy can be shared to multiple application gateways. Also, a WAF policy allows you to take advantage of advanced and new features like bot protection, newer rule sets, and reduced false positives. New features are only released on WAF policies. |
| 47 | + |
| 48 | +To upgrade a WAF configuration to a WAF policy, select **Upgrade from WAF configuration** from the desired application gateway. |
