# Take over data quality policy checkout

If a data quality policy is checked out in another environment, you can take over the check-out in the current environment. Only do this if the policy cannot be checked in from the other environment.

When you take over the data quality policy:

- It is blocked for changes in the other environment.
- Any changes made in the other environment are undone.
- It is checked out in the current environment.
- It receives a provisional change set number in the current environment that is two higher than the latest change set.

For example: If the latest change set is 4, the policy gets provisional change set number 5 when checked out in another environment. If you take over the policy in the current environment, it gets provisional change set number 6.

### Steps

1. Go to **Data quality studio** > **Inquiries** > **Version management** > **Data quality policy version management**.
2. In the list, find and select the desired data quality policy.
3. Click **Steal check** out.
4. You can choose to continue taking over the check-out of the selected data quality policy or cancel the action.

Click **Yes**.
5. Close the page.
