Objectif of Learning mode in ASM

Hi, I am new in F5 ASM, As I think, ASM can block attacks by himself based on many rules and signatures. So my question is what's the objectif of integrated Learning Mode inSecurity Policy ? Thank...

    HoussNet , 
    If I enable Staging for Attack signature or any of Entities , I Tell F5 ASM " Do not Block traffic violates this attack signature/or matched entity " 

    Learning mode is a concept we call it when our service still under testing not on air/or production service for all users , and ofcourse you should enable statging in this mode , to learn traffic without interruption of blocking a legitimate traffic.

    you can enable Staging for Entites as way in the process of learning to make F5 not to Block any traffic violates these Entites , and when learning period completes you can enforce " Disable Staging" these Entity , this depends on what the type of learning ( Automatic/Manual) Learning. 

    I want to say that Staging is one of 3 ways permits/allows traffic that match any of staged entites or attack signatures. 

    I hope you have gotten it now. 
    Feel free to reach out with me. 

    Regards
