# Viewing and managing rules

- [SonarQube rules](https://docs.sonarsource.com/sonarqube-cloud/standards/managing-rules/rules.md): In SonarQube Cloud, analyzers contribute rules that are ran against source code to generate issues.
- [Security-related rules](https://docs.sonarsource.com/sonarqube-cloud/standards/managing-rules/security-related-rules.md): Under the hood, SonarQube Cloud uses a variety of source code representations and detection techniques to reliably find all different types of security issues.
- [Security hotspot rules](https://docs.sonarsource.com/sonarqube-cloud/standards/managing-rules/security-hotspots.md): Security hotspot rules primarily refer to rules that flag potentially sensitive code needing a manual review.
- [If Sonar updates a rule](https://docs.sonarsource.com/sonarqube-cloud/standards/managing-rules/rule-update.md): What might change regarding rules after a software update
- [Retrieving and viewing rules](https://docs.sonarsource.com/sonarqube-cloud/standards/managing-rules/viewing-rules.md): How to retrieve and view SonarQube rules.
- [Adding tags to a rule](https://docs.sonarsource.com/sonarqube-cloud/standards/managing-rules/adding-tags-to-rule.md): Tags are a way to categorize rules and issues.
- [Built-in rule tags](https://docs.sonarsource.com/sonarqube-cloud/standards/managing-rules/built-in-rule-tags.md): Tags are a way to categorize rules and issues. Some built-in tags are language-specific, but many more appear across languages.
- [Rules for AI CodeFix](https://docs.sonarsource.com/sonarqube-cloud/standards/managing-rules/rules-for-ai-codefix.md): SonarQube Cloud can provide AI-generated fix suggestions for select issues found during your analysis.
