# How to validate the new Visibility Rules on Studio?

> [!WARNING]
> Note:
> 
> Instant Validation is only supported for the new Visibility Rules on Studio. For more information on the new Visibility Rules, see [Understand the new Visibility Rules for Content](/studio/docs/understand-advanced-visibility-rules-for-content).

While configuring content and widgets on Studio, Instant Validation provides immediate feedback for both [Visibility Rules](/studio/docs/advanced-visibility-rules-for-content) and [Element Precision Rules](/studio/docs/element-precision-rules-for-beacons), showing whether each rule applied is valid or invalid.
