 # IP Groups in Azure Firewall
 
-IP Groups allow you to group and manage IP addresses for Azure Firewall rules in the following ways:
+IP Groups make it easy to group and manage IP addresses for Azure Firewall rules. Use IP Groups in the following ways:
 
 - As a source address in DNAT rules
 - As a source or destination address in network rules
 - As a source address in application rules
 
 
-An IP Group can have a single IP address, multiple IP addresses, one or more IP address ranges or addresses and ranges in combination.
+An IP Group can include a single IP address, multiple IP addresses, one or more IP address ranges, or a combination of addresses and ranges.
 
-IP Groups can be reused in Azure Firewall DNAT, network, and application rules for multiple firewalls across regions and subscriptions in Azure. Group names must be unique. You can configure an IP Group in the Azure portal, Azure CLI, or REST API. A sample template is provided to help you get started.

 ## Parallel IP Group updates
 
-You can now update multiple IP Groups in parallel at the same time. This is particularly useful for environments requiring faster changes at scale, especially when making those changes using a dev ops approach (templates, ARM, CLI, and Azure PowerShell).

-With this support, you can perform the following:
+By using this feature, you can:
 
-- **Update 20 IP Groups at a time:** Perform simultaneous updates up to 20 IP Groups in one operation, referenced by firewall policy or classic firewall. 
-- **Update Azure Firewall and IP Groups together:** You can update IP Groups simultaneously with the firewall or with firewall policies. 
-- **Improved efficiency:** Parallel IP Group updates now run twice as fast.

    |Error message  |Description  |Recommended action|
    |---------|---------|---------|
-   |**In failed state (skipping update)**  |Azure Firewall or Firewall Policy is in a failed state. Updates cannot proceed until the resource is healthy. |Review previous operations and correct any misconfigurations to ensure the resource is healthy.|

    | **Backend server could not update Firewall at this time** | The backend server was unable to successfully process the request.| Create a support request.|
    | **Error occurred during FW update** | The error is related to the underlying backend servers.| Retry the operation or create a support request if the issue persists.|
-   | **Internal server error** | An unexpected backend error has occurred. | Retry the operation or create a support request.|
-  
-Additionally, note the following status updates:
-- **One or more IP Group failure:** If one IP Group update (out of 20 parallel updates) fails, the provisioning state changes to "Failed" while the remaining IP Groups will continue to update and succeed.
-- **Status update:** If an IP Group update fails, and if the firewall remains healthy, its state will still show as "Succeeded." To verify, check the status on the IP Group resource itself.
