1. In Salesforce, from the App Launcher, find, and open **Distributed Marketing Administration**.
2. Navigate to the Compliance and Approvals section.
3. Enable restricted words.
4. Select **Advanced Setup**. The system opens the Distributed Marketing Restricted Words record.
5. Select **Related**.
6. Select the Distributed\_Marketing\_Restricted\_Words .csv file.

    Note When you create a CSV file, be aware that the file can contain restricted words and regular expressions. Enter the list of words first, followed by this: ---BLOCKLIST\_SEPARATOR--- . Then list the regular expressions. Restricted words can be separated by a space or a new line. Each regular expression must be on a separate line.
7. Select **Upload New Version**.
    
    ![Note](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-mktg-mc_cross-cloud_products-264-0-0-production-enus/bd617332-480f-48e8-b283-3477883c1320/images/icon_note.png)
    
    Note Distributed Marketing uses the latest version of the first created file on this record. Uploading a new CSV file doesn’t update the blocklist. Upload the file as a new version of the first created file.
8. Select your own CSV file (comma or new line separated files are supported). The new list of restricted words is used, and shows in the Compliance and Approvals section in Distributed Marketing Administration.
