Explain policy and process questions.

Give visitors a clear explanation of the published policy or process, then identify when a person needs to review their situation.

Build this workflow

  1. Choose the authoritative policy

    Select the published Page, CMS entry, or eligible App source that owns the current policy.

  2. Test normal and edge questions

    Check a straightforward question and an exception so the answer does not overstate what the source covers.

  3. Name the human decision

    Tell visitors when an owner must review an individual case and how they can request that review.

Example result

The result
Ask can help visitors find the relevant information and next step.
What to check
Test an exception and check that the answer does not invent a policy or individual approval.

Adapt the example to your Website and review the result before moving to the next task.

Use the current policy source

Ask should explain the text that the Website owner has selected and indexed. Update the source content when the policy changes.

Do not turn an explanation into approval

A policy answer can clarify a process, but a person or relevant Website tool still decides exceptions, eligibility, refunds, or other commitments.

Before you continue

An Ask answer explains a selected policy or process. It does not approve an exception, issue a refund, or make a binding decision.
