What is Validation rule?
A rule that blocks a save when data is wrong
Definition
A validation rule is a formula that runs when a record is saved and blocks the save with an error message if the formula is true, for example requiring an amount once an opportunity reaches a certain stage. Validation rules enforce data quality without code.
01Why it matters
Validation rule in practice
Duplicate or conflicting rules frustrate users, and rules that compare picklist values break silently when those values change.

How it shows up in the product
SyncOnAI 360 finds duplicate validation rules, flags recently deactivated ones, includes them in dependency and impact analysis, and drafts new ones as proposals.
