Cloudflare One - New, streamlined creation experience for Access Applications and Gateway Policies

The Cloudflare One dashboard now features redesigned builders for two core workflows: creating Gateway policies and configuring self-hosted Access applications.

Gateway rule builder

The Gateway rule builder now features a redesigned user experience, bringing it in line with the Access policy builder experience. Improvements include:

  • Streamlined UX with clearer states and improved user interactions
  • Wirefilter editing for viewing and editing Gateway rules directly from wirefilter expressions
  • Preview state to review the impact of your policy in a simple graphic

For more information, refer to Traffic policies.

Access application builder for self-hosted apps

The self-hosted Access application builder now offers a simplified creation workflow with fewer steps from setup to save. Improvements include:

  • New application selection experience that makes choosing the right application type before you begin easier.
  • Streamlined creation flow with fewer clicks to build and save an application
  • Inline policy creation for building Access policies directly within the application creation flow
  • Preview state to understand how your policies enforce user access before saving

For more information, refer to self-hosted applications.
