About editing a {% data variables.product.prodname_custom_security_configuration %}

After creating and applying a {% data variables.product.prodname_custom_security_configuration %}, you may need to edit the enablement settings for that configuration to better secure your repositories. Any changes you make to the enablement settings of a {% data variables.product.prodname_security_configuration %} will automatically populate to all linked repositories.
