By publishing policies, you send approved policies to their respective audiences and make them accessible to members of the organization. Policies are viewable on the Control Compliance Suite Web Portal. After a policy is created, reviewed, and approved, it is ready to be published to the selected audience members.

A policy can be published only if the status is marked as Approved. A policy that has expired cannot be published.

When a policy is published, the selected audience members can access the policy from the Control Compliance Suite Web Portal. If you want to modify or update a published policy, you must first unpublish the policy. The policy is set to "Draft" status with a new version number. You can edit this new version. The published version of the policy cannot be modified.

When a policy is unpublished, the current version of the policy is archived and is no longer displayed in the Policy Portal home page. The policy is available for future publication under a new version number.
