When adding a final policy to the website
Note: The below instructions describe how to replace the existing policy with a new version of the policy. If the change is small (like a short technical change), then it may be easier to edit the existing policy. To do that, navigate to the existing policy and choose the "Edit Policy" button in the header. Delete any draft policies used for comment.
- Update the text of the policy based on the signed copy of the policy. Stefan should be able to supply a Word Document copy of the final text.
- Remove the reference to the “Track Changes” and “Summary of Changes” documents from the top of the policy.
- Confirm that links and heading styles are still in place. See above for more details.
- Update the “Last Revised Date” in the “Policy Identifiers” box.
- Delete the “Track Changes” and “Summary of Changes” documents from the document collection:
- Navigate from the dashboard to Collections > Documents > Files.
- Hover over the documents associated with the policy and choose “Delete.”
- Disable the comment form:
- Navigate from the dashboard to Collections > Forms.
- Click the green slider next to the form associated with the policy. It should be grey to signify the form is disabled.

- Open the version of the policy that is being replaced.
- Print it as a PDF. Include the date in the name of the PDF and put it in the correct folder on the shared drive.

- Delete the old policy by editing it and choosing “Move to Trash.”
- Publish the new version of the policy:
