# Editing an Information Barrier

<div className="article_labels_list" style={{display: 'none'}} dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{__html: "Admin , Shield , Box Shield , Article , New , Product Utilization , Instruction"}} />

Because you do not want any ethical walls that exist in your current information barrier to not be enforced when making changes to an information barrier and because the enablement of an information barrier after any changes may take some time to remove any violating collaborations, editing an existing enabled information barriers involves making a copy of the existing configuration. You will edit that copy and then enable the copy.

1. Go to **Admin Console > Shield**.
2. Click the **Information Barrier** tab.
3. In the enabled information barrier, click **Edit**.
4. In the Editing requires a draft dialog box, click Continue. A duplicate information barrier with the status of Draft is created.
5. In the draft information barrier, click **Edit**.
6. Make any desired changes, including [adding](/en/box-shield/shield-information-barrier/creating-an-information-barrier-user-segment), [editing](/en/box-shield/shield-information-barrier/editing-an-information-barrier-user-segment), or [deleting](/en/box-shield/shield-information-barrier/deleting-an-information-barrier-user-segment) user segments or [configuring permissions between segments](/en/box-shield/shield-information-barrier/configuring-permissions-between-information-barrier-segments).
7. Click **Save**.

Once you have finished editing the draft, you can [enable it](/en/box-shield/shield-information-barrier/enabling-an-information-barrier). Once it is fully enabled, the existing enabled information barrier will become disabled.
