For every compliance policy clause record you create, a corresponding compliance policy clause version record automatically gets created to ensure version control and traceability. When capturing policy updates, always create a new compliance policy clause version record to track changes over time.

1. From the App Launcher, find and select **Process Compliance Navigator**.
2. From the navigation bar, select **Compliance Policy Clauses**.
3. Click **New**.
4. Enter a name and description for the compliance policy clause.
5. Specify details such as the compliance policy and the parent compliance policy clause.
6. Add comments and reference document links, if necessary.
7. Click **Save & Next**.
8. In the Edit Compliance Policy Clause Version window, specify details such as the clause text, change summary, and the validity period of the compliance policy clause version.
    
    For every compliance policy clause you create, a corresponding compliance policy clause version is automatically created in draft status to ensure version control and traceability.
9. Save your changes.

The compliance officer maps compliance policy clause versions to compliance policy version.
