Hi, thank you for reaching out to Hexnode Connect.
At the moment, Hexnode doesn’t support creating or editing policies offline and importing them back into the system. Policies need to be created and modified directly through the console UI, so defining them externally and loading them in isn’t possible right now.
That said, there is a safer workaround you can use to avoid impacting devices that are already working fine.
You can clone your existing policy and use the cloned version as a sort of working template. Since templates aren’t associated with devices, you can freely make and review all your changes there without affecting anything in production.
Once you’re confident the changes are good, you can then apply this updated policy to devices or groups. If you’re using a device group, especially a dynamic group, you can switch over policies cleanly by associating the new one and removing the old policy, without unintended side effects.
This approach will help roll out incremental changes while keeping existing devices stable.
I hope this helps, if you need further assistance, feel free to reach out — happy to help.
Best regards,
George
