SES includes an advanced policy versioning system.

In Symantec Endpoint Security (SES), when an administrator edits and saves an existing policy, the system creates a new version.All previous versions of the policy are added to the policy archive list. This allows administrators to retain a historical record of policy configurations, which can be referenced or reactivated if needed.

Purpose of Policy Versioning and Archiving:

The policy archive provides an organized history of policy changes, enabling administrators to track adjustments over time or roll back to a previous version if necessary.

Why Other Options Are Incorrect:

Dormant until reactivated(Option A) implies temporary inactivity but does not match the archival system in SES.

Deleted after 30 days(Option B) would result in loss of policy history.

Active and assignable(Option C) is incorrect as only the latest version is typically active for assignments.
