Note You can't activate a compliance policy version if an active compliance policy clause version is mapped to it. To activate the policy version, retire the active clause version and then activate the published policy version. Similarly, a compliance policy clause can only have one active compliance policy clause version associated at a time.

1. From the App Launcher, find and select **Process Compliance Navigator**.
2. From the navigation bar, select **Compliance Policy Versions**.
3. Open the required compliance policy version record page.
4. Edit the status field and then select **Activate**.
    
    The option to activate a compliance policy version appears after you publish it. Similarly, you can activate a compliance policy clause version it's published.
5. Save your changes.
