The page
Three figures, Customers, On this revision and Mode, sit above the current revision’s progress: “Saved — waiting for another admin”, “Applied by another admin” and “Reaching customers”.
A baseline is Recording only, where customers’ machines record what each rule would have done, or Set to enforce, where the machines that act on it ask and refuse as each rule says. A customer’s own enforcement switch doesn’t reach your rules: in Set to enforce they can refuse actions even where that switch is off.
Draft a change
1
Start a rule
New rule › From scratch builds one rule. New rule › From a template opens sets of rules Quint ships: untick the ones you don’t want, then Add n rules to the draft. To change a saved rule, click its name or open its menu.

Build it
What to watch is what the agent does that the rule notices. What happens is the outcome, a Name and a Category. Check tries the draft against every customer: “Nothing is saved or applied.” Done returns you to the list; the rule is already in your draft.

Read the draft bar
The bar counts your changes and says which revision customers keep meanwhile. “This draft lives in this tab until you save a revision: a reload starts again from revision n.” Discard throws the draft away after you confirm.
Save a revision
Press Review and save (an Analyst gets Review changes, without the save). Anything that “Needs fixing first” is listed at the top with Fix. Then come the Changes against the current revision, the Mode to save with, and Customers: each one’s result is “Fits · changes their rules”, “Fits · no change” or “Doesn’t fit”. The check shows counts, never a customer’s own rules. Add an optional Note, then press Save revision n. Saving changes no customer. A revision that doesn’t fit every customer can still be saved, but it can’t be applied.Apply a revision
Applying needs a second admin. The admin who saved the revision sees “You saved this. Another admin applies it.” Any other admin sees Waiting to apply and Review and apply. Apply revision n? lists the changes against the revision your customers have now, and runs a fresh check when it opens. The apply carries a digest of that check: if the result has changed by the time you press Apply revision n, nothing is applied and you see the fresh check. If the revision doesn’t fit every customer, the apply button is disabled. Only the newest revision can be applied. Once applied, “Quint sends it to each customer on its next pass”.Where applying is switched off, the console says “Applying is switched off for partner baselines right now, so no customer receives this revision.” and the apply button is disabled. Ask your Quint contact.
Start from an older revision
In Revision history, open a revision and press Restore these rules into the draft… (Admin). The draft takes that revision’s rules and mode; if it already has changes, choose Keep my draft or Replace the draft. Save it as a new revision.If this fails
