# Product Update - July 11th, 2022

## New Features & Enhancements

- **Sections for Firewall Rules:** Firewall rulebases with many rules can be hard to organize, navigate, and manage. Now you can add sections to the WAN and Internet firewalls and group related rules together into a single collapsible and expandable section. [Read more](/v1/docs/adding-sections-to-the-wan-and-internet-firewalls).
- **Duplicate Rules for Firewall Policies:** With one click, you can duplicate a rule in your WAN and Internet firewalls. This creates a new identical rule directly below the original rule, and allows you to modify the conditions and parameters as needed.
  - When using Firewall sections, the duplicate rule is added directly below the original rule in the same section
- **Socket HA Enhancement:** Socket High Availability (HA) is now enhanced for Sockets running different minor versions (e.g., Primary Socket runs 14.0.1111, Secondary Socket runs 14.0.2222). The **same version** condition only verifies that both Sockets run the same major version. [Read more](/v1/docs/what-is-socket-ha).
