# Check out data quality policy

If change management is active, you must check out a data quality policy to make changes to the data quality policy or its components.

You check out a data quality policy in an environment. Each user in this environment can make changes to the checked-out data quality policy. If a data quality policy is checked out, it cannot be checked out in another environment.

You can only check out the latest data quality policy change set. If you check out a data quality policy and the current change set is not the latest change set, you can choose to first get the latest change set. If you do not get the latest change set, the data quality policy is not checked out.

### Steps

1. Click **Data quality management**.
2. On the **Data quality policies** tab, in the list, click the link of the desired data quality policy.
3. On the **Action Pane**, click **Version**.
4. Click **Check out**.
5. Click **OK**.
6. Close the page.
