This feature is used to group multiple policies on the policy group screen. Grouped policies can be added as a group, just like adding a policy on the API Proxy/API Proxy Group page, or they can be linked to API Proxy and API Proxy Groups according to a specific order of operations when creating them. Users can add any local or global policies they want to the group with the 'Add Policy' button, edit their order, and activate/deactivate the status of the policy if desired.
You can visit the Policies page for detailed information about policies.

Policy Group Deploy Operation
When any changes are made to the policy group, the status of the API Proxies and API Proxy Groups using this group changes to "Redeploy Required". Instead of deploying them one by one, the "Policy Group Deploy" feature allows all API Proxies and API Proxy Groups using this policy group to be deployed collectively to a specific environment.
When the deployment process is completed, the user is presented with a result screen called Deployment Results that shows the result of the deploy process.
