**To update a web ACL**
The following ``update-web-acl`` command deletes an ``ActivatedRule`` object in a WebACL. Because the ``updates`` value contains embedded double quotes, you must surround the entire value in single quotes. ::
aws waf-regional update-web-acl \
--web-acl-id a123fae4-b567-8e90-1234-5ab67ac8ca90 \
--change-token 12cs345-67cd-890b-1cd2-c3a4567d89f1 \
--updates Action="DELETE",ActivatedRule='{Priority=1,RuleId="WAFRule-1-Example",Action={Type="ALLOW"},Type="ALLOW"}'
