# Include
akamai_property_include
Create, update, or delete an include and its rule tree.
* To use non-declarative includes without behaviors, your rules and includes can use any supported rule format version as long as both your rules and includes are the same version.
* To use declarative includes with behaviors, your rules and includes must use a rule format no earlier than `v2023-01-05`. For information on updating to a later version, see [Update rule format](https://techdocs.akamai.com/terraform/docs/set-up-includes#update-rule-format).
> 📘
>
> To delete an include, run `terraform destroy`.
```json Declaration
