'IIS URL Rewrite impact on existing hosted applications

if we add the URL rewrite now on production server iis then will it affect the existing hosted/deployed application?

Means by adding the URL rewrite will my already hosted applications work properly or do i need to do some changes in it.

It depends on where do you set rewrite rules.

If you set at server level, it will affect all sites on IIS.

If you set it at site level, it will only affect this site. Other sites won't be affected. enter image description here
