After we have finished the configuration wizard, most of the options here do not need to be configured. The options that can be set are as shown below.

4. Take a look at the "Auto Approval" option. Updates downloaded synchronously from upstream WSUS require approval to allow deployment to the client installation. Automatic approval does not require us to review each update, and then approve the updates one by one. There is already a “default automatic approval rule” in the “Approval Rules” tab, and the rule attribute bar shows under what conditions the automatic approval will be performed. We can click the underlined option to edit, and then "run the rule after editing" will prompt whether to save, after saving, it will be automatically approved according to this default rule.
