Note

If there’s already a published compliance policy clause version mapped to the compliance policy version in the draft state, you can’t publish the compliance policy version record as it can only have one published compliance policy clause version associated with each compliance policy clause at a time. Multiple published clause versions for the same clause within a single compliance policy version can't exist. To publish the draft, set the published clause version to Draft. Alternatively, if no active clause versions exist, update the clause version to Active, save, and then set it to Retired. Try publishing again.

Updating a compliance policy version's status from Published to Draft does not affect the status of its associated compliance policy clause versions.

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 and navigate to the Details tab.
4. Update the status to **Published**.
    
    When you publish a regulation version record, the mapped compliance policy clause version records automatically get published. Learn about the scenarios and rules governing the [Transition Criteria for Compliance Policy Record Status](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=ind.business_compliance_suite_policy_version_transition.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Learn about the scenarios and rules governing the status transition of Compliance Policy Version and Compliance Policy Clause Version records.").
5. Save your changes.

Next, the Compliance Officer associates compliance policy clause versions with business operations processes.
