As a department changes name or colleagues leave the university, you may find yourself asking: how do I search my entire website to make this change? Using Siteimprove's policy library makes it easy! 

For example, you can make policies that: 

• Find all images on your site that are older than a certain timeframe to make sure campus and technology are up to date
• Find every instance of a former office name to check whether it’s been updated fully
• Look for a specific HTML tag on your website to remove old code that doesn’t meet best practice

Accessing the policy library

1. Log into Siteimprove
2. Navigate to the search bar on the top-left side of the menu
   
3. Search "Policy" in the search bar on the top left corner and select "Policy Library"
   

Creating a policy

There are many options when creating a policy. The most commonly used one is a content match. The video below from Siteimprove outlines how to create a policy. 

Examples of content policies

Below are some examples of policies created in our policy library

• Finding 2023-24 or other variations of a previous year to switch to the current term
• Someone changing their name
• A role promotion or change
• Address/zip code correction
• S/C/D name change
• Statistical change (e.g. finding occurrences of 10 years to change to 15 years)
