Introduction¶

This article gives information about the Policies module. The Acquia Optimize Policies module lets you set custom policies and rules for the scan to flag. The results from the scan are communicated with reports and alerts. This ensures that all content submitted by website content creators follows the same guidelines. It helps you to keep your content up-to-date and correct.

The module includes a large collection of pre-made policies, as well as the option to create custom policies.

For a quick overview of what this tool can achieve, see the intro video:
