# Customization

> Aporia Guardrails is highly customizable, and we continuously add more customization options. Learn how to customize guardrails for your needs.

## Get Started

To begin customizing your project, enter the policies tab of your project by logging into the [Aporia dashboard](https://guardrails.aporia.com), selecting your project and clicking on the **Policies** tab.

Here, you can add new policies<sup>1</sup>, customize<sup>2</sup>, and delete existing ones<sup>3</sup>.

<Tip>
  A policy in Aporia is a specific safeguard against a single LLM risk.

  Examples include RAG hallucinations, Restricted topics, or Prompt Injection. Each policy allows for various customizations, such as adjustable sensitivity levels or topics to restrict.

3. **Sandbox:** Test your policy configurations using the chatbot sandbox. Enable or disable a policy using the **Policy State** toggle.
