[Turn on the Regulation and Policy Status Transition and Validation Criteria](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=ind.business_compliance_suite_regulation_policies_transition_validations.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Enforce the status transition criteria and validation requirements for regulation and policy records.") setting to enforce the status transition criteria and validation requirements for regulation and policy records.

Considerations

When the setting is turned on, only valid transitions occur.

When the setting is off, all status transitions are valid,without conditions.

Transition and validation criteria applies to individual record updates and bulk updates.

If a regulation version has two or more published regulation clause versions, each published regulation clause version must be associated with a unique regulation clause record.

For example, when the setting is on:

- You can update the status of a published regulation version to draft.
- You can't update the status of a draft regulation version to active.
- You can update a draft regulation version to published only when all associated regulation clause versions are published or active
