You can deactivate an existing policy so learners no longer see it in their courses. Deactivated policies are not deleted. Foundry continues to store the policy and keeps a record of all learners who acknowledged it.
You can deactivate a policy in one of two ways:
- From the Course Configurations page
- From the My Policies page
Deactivate a policy from the Course Configurations page
Use this option when you want to remove a policy from a specific course.
- Go to Content > Content Library
- Search for the course that includes the policy
- Select Configure on the course card
- Locate the module that contains the policy
- Look for a “This module supports policy” label next to the module title
- Look for a “This module supports policy” label next to the module title

- Select Deactivate
- Select OK to confirm
The policy is immediately removed from the course.
