**Introducing a new console experience for AWS WAF**

You can now use the updated experience to access AWS WAF functionality anywhere in the console. For more details, see [Working with the console](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/waf/latest/developerguide/working-with-console.html). 

# Bot Control example: Excluding IP range from bot management
<a name="waf-bot-control-example-scope-down-ip"></a>

If you want to exclude a subset of web traffic from AWS WAF Bot Control management, and you can identify that subset using a rule statement, then exclude it by adding a scope-down statement to your Bot Control managed rule group statement. 

The following rule performs normal Bot Control bot management on all web traffic except for web requests coming from a specific IP address range.
