+Policy changes reach developer machines within 5 minutes. Once synced, when the
+change applies depends on the policy type: network and MCP policies apply to

 [Organization network access policies](network.md#when-changes-take-effect),
 [Organization filesystem access policies](filesystem.md#when-changes-take-effect), and
