Deciding who gets to see your policies is a key part of setting up your compliance center. In the Viewer, you generally have two main options: keeping things locked down for your team or sharing them with the world.
Here is how the settings work.
Active Private (For Your Eyes Only)
Think of Active Private as your "Internal Only" mode.
How it works: If a policy is set to this status, a user must be logged into PolicyCo to see it.
What users see: If someone tries to visit the link without being logged in, they will be stopped by a login screen. Once they are in, the document (and any PDF download) will be clearly stamped "For Internal Use Only" so there is no confusion.
Active Public (Open to the World)
Active Public removes the gates.
How it works: This setting makes the policy accessible to anyone who has the link.
What users see: No authentication or password is required. This is perfect for privacy policies or terms of service that you need to share with external customers or partners.
Customizing Your Labels (Classifications)
You aren't stuck with just the default labels. PolicyCo lets you tag your policies with "Classifications" to match your company's internal language (like "Confidential" or "Restricted").
You can manage these tags in your Organization Profile:
Add New: Create a brand new classification type.
Customize: Double-click the Name or Description columns to tweak the wording so it makes sense to your team.
If you want it public, check the box for that row. Otherwise leave the box unchecked.
How to Classify Your Policy
Once you have configured your Policy Classifications in the Organization Profile settings, they will be ready for you to apply to individual policies.
To use them, simply open the editor for the policy you are working on. Locate the Classification option in the menu bar, click it, and select the category that best fits your document.
