**Introducing a new console experience for AWS WAF**

You can now use the updated experience to access AWS WAF functionality anywhere in the console. For more details, see [Working with the console](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/waf/latest/developerguide/working-with-console.html). 

# Bot Control example: Using Bot Control only for dynamic content
<a name="waf-bot-control-example-scope-down-dynamic-content"></a>

This example uses a scope-down statement to apply AWS WAF Bot Control only to dynamic content. 

The scope-down statement excludes static content by negating the match results for a regex pattern set: 
+ The regex pattern set is configured to match extensions of *static content*. For example, the regex pattern set specification might be `(?i)\.(jpe?g|gif|png|svg|ico|css|js|woff2?)$`. For information about regex pattern sets and statements, see [Regex pattern set match rule statement](waf-rule-statement-type-regex-pattern-set-match.md). 
+ In the scope-down statement, we exclude the matching static content by nesting the regex pattern set statement inside a `NOT` statement. For information about the `NOT` statement, see [NOT rule statement](waf-rule-statement-type-not.md).
