Plain-English Summary
When a CBLP case calls for a confidentiality order, the parties don't draft one from scratch — they submit the proposed stipulation and order set out in Appendix XXX to the rules. Wanting to change that form takes more than a request: the parties have to submit a red-line of the proposed changes along with a written explanation of why the deviation is warranted for their particular case.
None of this closes off a party's separate ability to seek whatever protective relief R. 4:10-3 otherwise allows.
