Introduction
------------

Set custom policies and rules for the scan to flag across all of your domains. The results from the scan are communicated with reports and alerts. Admins can then use the scan results to identify and repair issues that do not meet the policy requirements. This ensures that all content submitted by website content creators follows the same guidelines to help you keep your content up-to-date and correct. 

This document provides information about how to find existing policies on your website and monitor the results.
