In the Rules available for revision management section, verify that all the required rules are selected.
In the upper-right corner, click Save.

It might take a while for the system to save the changes. It copies all the rules to the application overlay ruleset and creates a new version of the ruleset. Wait for the confirmation message before proceeding, as shown in the following figure:

Note: When you add rules to revision management, the system creates a new version of the revision ruleset with the newly added rules. For example, ruleset version 01-01-01 changes to 01-02-01. The application definition automatically updates with the new ruleset.
