# Manage Anomaly Detection Policies

The **Anomaly detection** page displays all resource count and expense anomaly policies you have created. You can get detailed information for a policy by selecting the policy name. This includes general information, the date of violation, status, average, and actual counts.&#x20;

From the policy details page, you can edit the policy name. You can also delete the policy, [download the chart as a PNG file](/policies/anomaly-detection/export-chart.md), and view the violation history.
