Hi SSHSSH,

 

 

Tightening allows you to make the policy for wildcards more specific. Staging allows you to put a change in transparent mode (not block on it).

 

 

After the staging period expires, you'll be prompted to accept changes which didn't have any positives. Nothing happens automatically to the policy that is enforced after the staging period expires.
